[Anninja]: 428.Stuff.A friendly chat with Death

There was nothing, just a hole where my life had been, everything that had any value, was taken from me. Even the most precious- love- was slowly fading away into oblivion.
There was nobody to whose life I could possibly be of any worth, He left me and my only friend was far away. My life was a void.

I walked over a bridge and cried, when river spoke to me with the voice of Death: "Come, don't be afraid! Your soul has died from grief already, come, let me also be your breath, let me flow through your veins! Give me your life and I will caress it, just say you want it!"

For a moment I looked coldness in the eyes and then I knew. "I am not afraid and I truly have nothing in my life," I said, "but I still have what is truly the most precious- life itself. I will live all the days that are given to me, and I will never give you my dearest!"

Death retreated and I felt a spark in my heart, soon all my being was afire with life again. Sun smiled at me through green tree branches and I smiled back- even that might be taken from me, but I will never give up my sun.
