Ethan Collier (Fields of Sorrow)

On fields of sorrow, the soil wants blood and tears. On fields of sorrow, these minutes feel like years...
It's evening, just before sunset and I've picked up my supplies and I'm heading to my camp, when I nearly run into a man Sorry! Beg your pardon! the man doesn't reply, but instead continues his slow shamble toward the edge of town
I see only the horizon. Madeline's face fills my mind as I slowly walk to her. Grief is a constant companion and my life is barely worth living. Someone almost runs into me, but it doesn't matter, nothing does. I walk on, to be beside my Madeline
I notice a nearby man watching the shambling man Excuse me? Is... is he alright? the man gives me a sad look No, I'm afraid not. That's Ethan Collier. Lost his wife a few years back and... he never came back either. I turn back just in time to see the man crest a low hill before fading from sight. Late that night from my camp near the creek, I could swear I hear anguished cries, far off in the darkness
