The girl who wanted Immortality

She was perfect and lived the perfect life  
But she had fears
Her biggest fear was dying  
Not so much dying
But rather the absence of life
She wanted to stay on this world forever
When she fell asleep every night the gods painted pictures of immortality in her head
To her immortality would not be a curse but a gift

When she got up that day,with the gods images fresh in her mind, she couldn't help but notice she felt different

She excused it and carried on
She went to learn and explore knowledge

1st period was literature
The knowledge was overwhelming
Her body trembled as the last two lines of sonnet 18
Bounced around her heart
"So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee."

As she contemplated Shakespeare  
She pictured herself begging to the gods
That they would remove the cloud of morality that followed her

Needing a break she dismissed herself

She walked out side, turned the corner and was looking into the eyes of the devil

Before she could put together what was happening
He had pumped--aimed--and fired

Her body dropped, but in the second it took her body to hit the floor so many things changed

She had died, all life taken away
But before she could hit the ground the gods had given her immortality  


She will never be forgotten, even when this generation moves on
Her life is intertwined in this world for all eternity

It is a true tragedy
It is tragic because she will never know that.
