What's left of me is yours to keep

Eyes blinked open, revealing a world he didn't quite recognize. Where was he? One minute, he was in the world he had grown accustomed to, and the next he was...here. The sky above him was gray and dreary, droplets of rain falling around him. Confused, he looked around and realized he was on a beach, the waves lapping hungrily at the shore, each wave shimmering a brilliant blue with each touch of the earth.

There was so much he wanted to do now that he was back, but how much time did he have? That part, of course, he was unsure of. Regardless, he would use his time wisely, of course.
