A/N I think I'll keep doing these 60 second one-shots. This one has a partner, which I will post later.

Please leave a review, and enjoy!


60 seconds to letting go.

1.

She has a big decision to make

2.

And she knows how it will end

3.

Her breath catches in her throat

4.

And she feels her eyes sting

5.

And her heart feels sore

6.

But she's played the losing role

7.

For too long now

8.

It's finally time for her

9.

To allow herself to live

10.

To allow herself to win

11.

To let her smile be more than a veneer

12.

Calleigh tries to smile

13.

But it comes out oddly so she stops

14.

The gun discharges with a loud, satisfying bang

15.

A small explosion each time

16.

A tiny apocalypse every time she fires

17.

The end of the world

18.

It's time

19.

Bang!

20.

It's time for the end of this world

21.

And he'll never need to know

22.

The war she fights within herself now

23.

Love means sacrifice, right?

24.

So now I'll let you go.

25.

She's stalled for too long and the first step

26.

Must be taken now

27.

With each discharge of the gun

28.

She'll think of her last thoughts

29.

Of love

30.

And then cleanly be done with it

31.

Bang!

32.

The bewitching blue of your eyes

33.

Bang!

34.

The curving lines around your mouth

35.

Bang!

36.

The way your eyes crease in a smile

37.

Bang!

38.

Your tousled red hair

39.

Bang!

40.

How you lean in to listen to someone speak

41.

Bang!

42.

How you always try to be so damn noble

43.

Bang!

44.

How you never seem ruffled

45.

Bang!

46.

How your voice is always steady

47.

Bang!

48.

And the rare moments I see you angry

49.

Click.

50.

Calleigh looked at her gun

51.

She didn't realize how rapidly she was firing

52.

No more bullets

53.

No more time for memories

54.

She takes off her earmuffs

55.

And prepares to greet the world anew

56.

Horatio stands at the end of the hallway

57.

She refuses to let her heart skip a beat

58.

He waves and walks over

59.

She smiles at him

60.

And lets go.
