What Is Love?
He stumbled along the narrow ally way, his heavy burden pressing against his weary shoulders. His muscles trembled with weakness and pain. The jeering voices around him threw insults and mockery into his face. Sweat blurred his vision and he fell to his knees, the heavy burden pinning him to the sandy ground. The sand burned his open flesh upon his hands, feet and face. Tears bloomed from his eyes as the pain throbbed through his weakening body.
"Get up you!" a foul voice yelled, grabbing his shoulder and dragging him across the sand which dug it further into his wounds.
Crying out, he staggered to his feet, his knees shaking unsteadily. Grabbing the burden he dropped, he hoisted it upon his drooping shoulders.
The ally was crowded with screaming and cursing citizens. The din swirled around him, clouding his ears and his mind. A single tear slid down his cheek when he looked into the faces of those who cursed him, who threw rocks and rotten food upon him. His heart ached and his body burned.
The protruding object upon his forehead bit into him, allowing a steady stream of sticky blood to trail down his face.
He shook all over, his hands grappling to hold on to his burden, and just when he thought he could go no further, he saw it; the hill. The hill on which he would suffer for those he loved.
