49 | Skinny

Death came and took Life away. In just five short days, Life slowly turned to Suffering and eventually, Death came. 

We knew Death was approaching when Life came. She was different from the rest. 

We thought she would survive. Life seemed to be bursting with energy and Joy.
But that didn't last long. 

Life began to fade. We tried all ways.
We tried feeding the elements required for Life
and we held strong to that dim light thinking it was going to burst into Life again.

Soon, Suffering came. And it was not pleasant at all.
Death circled around, waiting.
It was a torturous wait as we tried to remove Suffering. But it held on.

And suddenly, Life shook as if there was a struggle. Life fought and struggled to stay as Suffering tug hard at it. 

Then, all was silent, as she laid down. 

Death strolled in. 

Suffering was gone, but so was Life.
