The Human Love Story
I have a story I want to tell.
It is called, The Human Love Story.
It is about a man and a woman. When they first met, they adored everything about each other.
The man was smart and strong and the woman, fierce and free. One morning, they went for a walk on a beach. The man watched his woman dance at the shoreline. He watched her move with the moon and reach for the sun. Then, he grabbed her hand.
“Come on,” he laughed.
“Where to?” she asked.
“Ahead,” he said.
And so off they ran.
It didn’t take long for the woman to grow weary. She was weak and needed to slow.
“Let us rest, my love,” the woman said, “let us rest and sit by the water.”
“No, there is no time,” the man replied, “I promise we are almost there.”
“Where?” she asked.
“Ahead,” he said.
And so, on and on they ran.
They ran until the woman was sick and starved, until the sea had turned to smoke.
“Please, my love, I beg you! Let’s rest! Let’s breathe!” she pleaded.
The man got very annoyed.
