Wealthy Girl (Rin)
He was first friend. But, alas, he will never understand my pain. A beautiful flower in the midst of a weedy meadow; such a flower without sunshine is doomed to die. My sunshine is now only a gleam in my blurred eyes. An hour later, father came back. I need this minute I was going to die, I painfully reached for a plane with all my might, but I couldn't quite reach it. My father gentle eyes stared at me as guilt shone through; he put his warm hands on my cold ones. He let go putting a paper plane in my hands. Thank you boy…thank you father…thank you for this life…. I took my last sweet breath in and smiled as the curtains were now pushed open revealing the sunlight; and I silently fell into a deep sleep in which I never woke up.
Prisoner Boy (Len)
I sadly walked back to the downtown dirty area of the streets, my home. All my letters she gave me are all in a pile, they are my treasures, I promised her that I will treasure them always. I always dreamt the girl would come back one day and I still waited everyday for her. Until that one day…that day when the girl's father came at me. I knew it was the girl's father from the familiar golden hair; though hers was shiny and bouncy while his straight and oily. He came up to me with two men. They laughed and sneered at my home and were disgusted at my looks. It all happened when the girl's father picked up the paper airplane. Then everything happened in slow-motion. He picked it up, read it, and laughed. He then did the most horrible thing anyone could do. He tore it up, right in front of my face, he tore up her and mine feelings and emotions. I was outraged and landed a punch at the girl's dad's face. His men protected their boss, arrested me, tied me up, and threw me in the dungeon. But even in the restrainment of the two men, I saw a look of fear and rush in his eyes as he hurried to the hospital nearby.
There, I had nothing to remind me of her as big, salty tears dropped down my cheek. Please untie me, I meant no harm, I just need to ask you something…There was barely any air in the cell as it became hard to breathe. Please I just want to known her name! Just then, everything flashed before me, her sweet smile and the good memories. The airplanes were emotions spread out on paper, the only thing to keep me going. I imagined a patch of weeds and a flower blooming so beautifully, though we lived in different worlds I had the nerves to reach out to her. I prayed to the gods the girl would live a happy future. I reached out to the sky, now so blue and the sun has finally risen, the memory of her her smile is the last thing I see before I fall into an everlasting sleep.
Ending
The prisoner and the girl wish for each other safety and happiness not-knowing of each other's pain. They both drift into another world, one where they are happy and can finally be together in. This concludes the story of Paper Airplane. Thank You
