Simple and Clean

by Chaotic Reflections

On the surface, one would wonder how such opposites could work so well together. After all, Sally was the beautiful, brilliant princess, destined to fall in love with a prince charming or hero. Shadow was the Ultimate Lifeform, rough around the edges with crimson eyes glowing death and danger. They seemed like two jagged puzzle pieces that shouldn't fit, and yet, they did.

Thanks to TheDivines, Emeraldalex123, xXCrimsonShadowxX, Thunder Croft, Skyelara, and Mushroom Prower for your wonderful reviews! They really made my day, and I enjoyed reading each of them! This story is doing great, better than I initially assumed it would, and I'm thankful to all of my readers for that.

Mushroom Prower: I read your review and suggestion, and I love your idea! It crossed my mind to make a chapter like that, and I definitely will. Thanks for the idea! I can definitely incorporate something like that in a future chapter!

The poem is a prose poem, and it belongs to me. I wrote it; it's mine. Simple, right?

29. Out of Time

Life is but a dream, a blissful memory that one never wants to forget. What are dreams made of? They are wishes of the heart, things the heart wants but may never have. There's more to life than living and dying, and I open my mouth wide and release a hearty laugh.

I am happy! Gleeful is my soul, for I am alive and well! Look into my eyes and you will find the gateway into my very soul. I am nothing more than a mere passerby on this journey, and I walk alone. The path I've chosen tends to be quite a lonely one, for no one else wishes to walk it with me. Such thoughts do nothing to diminish my cheerful demeanor though.

Indeed, I believe the mold was broken when the Lord created me, for there is not one single soul on this earth who bears a resemblance to me, and such truth makes me heady and drunk with relief. Raindrops fall as the sky weeps, and I find myself weeping along with her, for nothing is truly what it seems.
