Love
A Symphony of Love and Loss: Part Seven - Hollow Echoes and Faded Smiles
The harsh glare of the diner lights reflected off Evni's phone screen, illuminating a vision that felt like a cruel joke. Paradise mocked him from the image: Thia, a vision in white, her smile as bright as the Parisian sun. Each swipe was a fresh cut, a stark contrast to the stale burger aroma clinging to him. His scholarship, a meager offering against the tide of her wealth, felt like a cruel reminder of the chasm separating them.

Eva's Last Cry
Eva cried out, “How could you? How could you do this to me again”? Tears flowed down her face like water from Niagara Falls.

He stood at five foot eight inches. His eyes looked like cut jade. His charcoal colored skin showed signs of sweat bursting forth, especially on his forehead. He leapt to his feet and ran down the aisle. He looked out into the audience who stood up and applauded this turn of events. The walk up to the stage seemed like a dragging sense of reality; time appeared to slow. The commissioner shook hands with Neblo. His greasy smile shone teeth with blood in between them. It wasn’t much, just enough to know that he had bit down on some flesh just moments before.

Like a mad professor in a lab., she could observe and analyse and alter and remove if she liked as she was the controller of the Globe and everything that lay therein.
