What if someone offers you a chance to spend time with the person you lost? The catch? You only have a short time to spend with them before they fade away again. In this story, a woman gets that wish, to spend time with the husband she lost a while back.

A woman recounts being in love with her first love.

She loved him. Just for a moment in time as she has many before. Forgotten in memories of times unkept, for her the flame of each burns painfully bright even after they have long forgotten. Healers are wounded by the love they give, and the keeper of the flame burnt by the light they offer to those lost souls. It is not only an eternal gift, but for her it means eternal pain.
