Counting Stars

"It was like waking up with no teeth. Sammy didn't have to rush to the mirror to know they were gone." After Hazel leaves for Alaska, Sammy finds himself a depressed, hollow-shell of who he used to be. Somehow, counting stars ends up unsettling him and comforting him at the same time. "Depressed it just another word for sad. Stars are just another word for Hazel." Character death.
