Disclaimer:I don't own anyone or anything from the Artemis Fowl series. Don't make me keep repeating it; it just sinks the reality in even more. :P
Side by side they sit; two ornate metal boxes.
The difference between them is unmistakable, though they are identical.
One is lovingly polished every day, the care taken with it apparent in its appearance.
The carelessness with which the other has been treated is also clear; it is dull, tarnished by time and unrequited love. Now it is too worthless to restore to its former glory, and so is left alone to degrade even further.
Only time truly tells, but...
Which is which and who is who?
A more random drabble(It's 100 words, though)...inspired by polishing a silver, heart-shaped jewelry box-ish thing of mine. Basically, it's Artemis's choice between Holly and Minerva. My opinion on them, basically, but...yeah. ^^
Hope you all enjoyed reading this, comments and constructive crit are always welcome, and thank you all who review. ^^
Happy New Year!
P.S. I've always wanted to name something I wrote 'Unrequited Love', so...yeah. :D
