The rain poured down heavily as the thunder roared. An abandoned corn field lay in distress as the rain washes away the remaining plants. In the center of the field there is a very old oak tree that has seen so many things, if it could talk, it would take your entire life time plus to hear the tales. Around the tree stood a girl who came to this place for peace & quiet.
In the rain is where she wept with no one to dry her tears. She screamed, she spun, she pounded the ground but nothing could release the emotions within her. Almost ready to explode she felt like she could burn. Burn with her desires, burn with her hatred, burn with her sadness. Let the fires come from within her & release her from this world. When she was just about to give up a man appeared from behind the grand oak tree.
"Are you sure?"
She looked at him wondering if he was even real, for who in their right mind would be outside in such a terrible storm? The man didn't dissapear, he only looked at her in a way that made her feel like he was looking into her very soul. She nodded but did not know why, it was like she was no longer controlling her own body.
"Very well." And with that a bolt of lightning hit her body. She was still able to feel as the electricity surged throughout her but instead of feeling cold or on fire, happiness filled her mind. She was free.
Something appeared from the ashes, a orange & red bird with feathers of gold. It flew freely into the air and joined another bird, one of blue & gold. The two beautiful winged creatures flew off under the cover of the storm.
Later a body was found in the field. It was of the girl who desired to leave this world and move onto the next.
Once examined the coroner could not find a reason for her death. Not a toxin in her system, no sense of foul play, no marks, no cuts, her organs were healthy, no water in the lungs, nothing. It seemed like nothing was out of place except for the way she died was a mystery.
Around town people were talking about how such a healthy girl could die. The guessed that a new murder weapon was being used, or she was abducted by aliens, or that she was the test subject of top secret military toxin. But when it came time for her wake & funeral, all those notions were dismissed.
As people piled in to see the girl weird things happened. First off she was smiling, truly smiling. For those who knew the girl well that was something they haven't seen for years. Second off, the candles near the body seemed to glow the brightest & would light back up even when someone would accidently (or purposefully) blow them out. The final oddities were the gold streak in her hair (that couldn't be dyed out) & the beautiful red feather that seemed to appear in her hand.
To live freely is all I wish. To no longer feel the pain & hatred of this world. To escape like a bird, to be able to spread my wings as I wish. That is my dream.
