Darker than Black

One of my favorite websites is Six-Word Memoirs. I like to look at them and imagine the stories that go behind other people's lives. I was looking at them today and was struck by this one in particular:

"Is there something darker than black?"

And the thought that I had in response was:

"Yes. It's we're all covered in right now. I believe it's called grief. Most people think of it as gray. I used to think of it as gray, when I would try to picture it. But not now, not now that I've experienced it this closely. This disgusting, filthy pain that surrounds us -- that's darker than black."

I really just want to reach a point where I stop crying every time I see her picture.
