Life sat in a garden. Lazily, he yawned and stretched his long arms toward the blue, cloudless sky. As he laid back on the grass,he stretched his long legs, careful not to disturb any plants or animals. His blues eyes matched the color of the bright
/blue sky he gazed upon. He placed his hands under his reddish curly hair. Peace filled him.
Suddenly, the sky darkened and rain started to fall. Life did not move. He enjoyed the rain. It was cool and refreshing. Also, he knew that this was a sign She was coming.
She slinked into the garden. Her long green dress dragged the ground behind her as she walked. She was slender yet shapely with long blonde hair and eyes that changed color to match her clothes. Gently, she touched the rose bush next to Life. As was her
/curse, the beautiful plant withered beneath her fingertips.
"Hello, Death," stated Life cheerfully ashe sat up. His voice could make anyone's heart melt. Death often found herself wanting to be closer to Life. However, it was impossible for her to be close to anyone.
She sat next to him.
He said, "I've been thinking"
"That's dangerous for you to do," she chuckled playfully.
"Oh, shut up!" hefussed. Helonged to be able to playfully touch hedug hisfingers into the dirt.
After several minutes of silence, Deathsaid, "You were thinking?"
"Huh? Oh... I was thinking about how everyone loves me...Why is it that everyone loves meand hates you?" he asked innocently.
Shelaughed heartily. "My darling are so sweet."
The manblushed deeply.
"The answer is simple. It's because you are a beautiful lie andI am a painful truth."
