//Hopefully I am still alive and not speaking into the abyss

*"Good night folks" the words echoed empty and hollow in the dark corners of my mind. Life had truddled along after I played my part in the+

+final battle. I found myself running a small bar on the out skirts of the ruins that was once LA. But lesson learned. And what lesson you+

ask? Simple answer, Never fall in love with the good guys. Bet you thought there was a sultry dame involved and there was a few. But I fell+

hard in love with all of them. The champion and very tone deaf vampire Angel.The tough but loyal Gunn. The brilliant and studious Wesley.+

Even Spike with his rough and tumble and jaded past. And all the ones we lost along the way.But mostly I fell in love with the naive notion+

that we could make a difference. And we sure did. We struck a match to the big evil but we all got burned in the end. Somehow someway it+

just didn't seem worth it. The white knight somehow fell of his charger.And here I was night after night trying to slide back into an old+

life that didn't quite fit while I ignored that gnawing feeling that I should go back. I looked up at the club and nodded.* Hey don't judge+

me. *I spoke to the empty space.* I'll get along. Cause that's what the green guy does
