Madeline 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 woman Sorry! Beg your pardon! the woman doesn't reply, but instead continues her slow shamble toward the edge of town
I see only the horizon. Ethan's face fills my mind as I slowly walk to him. 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 Ethan
I notice a nearby man watching the shambling woman Excuse me? Is... is she alright? the man gives me a sad look No, I'm afraid not. That's Madeline Collier. Lost her husband a few years back and... she never came back either. I turn back just in time to see the woman 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
