~Life's Message~ Red Death second post

Its been 2 months, two months of violence, bloodshed, and vengeance. Nikolai looks out unto Crescent Ave during the early morning. It reminds him of the fairy tales from his youth, the area is absolutely astonishing. The grass glistens, the birds, sing, and the sun is just rising. That seems to be what can create the unimaginable. The sun is such a complex object with a simple meaning but it creates the artwork of the world with its simple rise and set. As the horizon turns red he realizes the beauty on earth and wishes to preserve the moment. However, sometimes we can not always get what we deserve and in this case a simple car passes, loud and menacing, he soon realizes that a perfect world can not exist and the minor details of the horrific bloodshed strewn before him come out. An insignificant squirrel slaughtered by the squeal of rubber."Why?" he asks. "Why must the beautiful always cease to live on?" and suddenly a wave of emotion washes over him, Maria, its been a month since he last thought of her. For you see, Niko finally found another woman to love. Her name is Angela, who is standing beside him unbeknownst to his presence. She slowly rubs his back, "I know isn't it terrible," she says "it's so innocent." Nikolai is startled, "Oh, hi." he mumbles with an expression full of sorrow. "What's wrong?" she states concerned. "Nothing an old friend, old news." She smiles, her rosy cheeks making her look 5 years younger. "I gotta get to work." He explains, "I have some business partners with bones to pick." He says with a grin. "Love you, and I'll see you tonight hope you have fun with that whole party thing." "It's called a book club." she laughs. "Yea, yea you girls can gossip all you want just leave me out." He turns his back and waves. Hands on her hips she walks inside glad she doesn't have work tonight and hopeful of her new recipe for "Southwestern Bell Pepper Dip" to be a huge hit with the girls tonight. As he slowly turns watching her walk inside as he always does and figures that sometimes life is not always so bad, there is always something to love, and it is always the little things that count. Whether it be a simple kiss, a wave goodbye, morning dew on a blade of grass, or the sunrise that makes our day turn into night. We always find something to live for.

Silence by the author.

Crickets chirping.
Silence is truly lovely.
Until a car passes us by.
