| Part Two When he awoke again, there was a beautiful, mystic glow emanating from behind the weight. His body was drawn to the light. All other thoughts and feelings left his mind. He felt his body get up from the ground and walk towards the glow, yet he couldn�t remember ever wanting to. He looked around the weight and sitting there, pulling the petals off a white rose, was a young woman. She was extremely beautiful. She had shining golden locks that fell down her back and shoulders. Her face was as soft as a snowflake and it had a glow of pure happiness. She was dressed in the finest white silk as if she was dressed in the moonlight itself. Michael was enraptured by her exquisite beauty, tempted by her soft, red lips, and amazed in her stillness. The lady looked up into his face and smiled with beautiful, white teeth. She stood up and held his hands in her frail, white ones. �Hello Michael, I am Amelia. �, she smiled. �W�Where am I? �, he stuttered. �You do not know?� �No�.I don�t understand. Why are there books, a peach, and this stupid weight? Am I asleep or�.or dead?� �Did you not see the meanings in these things.� �No, I�m sorry.� She sighed and shook her golden head and led him to the tree once more. She sat down and pulled him down with her. She crossed her legs, then gestured, with her hands, all around her. �What did you think of when you saw this complete darkness?� Michael noticed that the area all around her was brightened by the light that seemed to escape from her soul. He didn�t even need his lighter. �erm�.I thought it was dark so I took out my lighter.� �What did you think of when you saw the lighter?� �My ex-wife Julia�. Why?� �That�s it! Do you still love her Michael?� �n�.n�.yes.� �There now, that was just the first.� �What do you mean?� Amelia put her finger to his lips, and then she gestured to the books, �What did you think of when you saw these books?� �Well, I thought of how much I hated my teens.� �Do you regret anything you did back then?� �I sort of regret not trying and not being with the other kids.� �Another!� �What?!� |
