His hands were stained with the dried blood of his enemies.

At his feet lay the fresh corpse of a friend.

He looked dazed. His already crimson fingers curled slightly, as if trying to hold on to something.

What was there to hold on to?

It had all been an empty, fleeting joy.

Background:

That's right, drugs.
