You break the clapper. The crack travels up through the bell, through the lake, through the graves on the hill.
Morning comes to Morrow without a sound. The dead lie down. The living open their doors. No one can quite remember what they were afraid of.
You leave your weapon on the shore. For the rest of your life, bells will sound a little farther away than they should.
You ended the toll. Some names went into the silence with it.
