Mark knew he was dying weeks before the doctor told him, for Mark had seen Death. The first time Mark saw death was deep in the night.

He brewed himself some Tea, Chamomile and Lavender, which was sometimes the only thing he could keep down, and sat down in front of his large bay windows to gaze upon the tree line of the forest at the edge of his property.
