(A Short Story)

In the vast regions of an uncharted valley, in a majestic place, retired and graciously removed from men's destructive nature, a unique breed of a plant named Marla grew happily still, she enjoyed her space. She loved the never ending interaction with nature daily, and she thanked her creator for her existence and that beautiful place, she called home, Marla knew of nothing else. This overwhelming sense of endless beauty made her think of nothing else but happiness and constant gratitude. The sun was always shining, and nothing presented itself as a threat to such a perfect world.

  1:30  
There was an almost tattooed smile on her face, and she always shared her best moves every time the wind was strong enough to make her stem move. This cosmic relationship with nature made possible the seemingly some real act of having the invisible fused to the tangible. Marla's colors were getting brighter as the days went by, noticeably enough to become an inspiration herself. Then, something unexpected and tragic two plays in marvelous world. A place will later come to know as Sophia,

  2:07  
a sudden change of matter, gravity and space produce an atmospheric phenomenon that aggressively attack salty. These confrontation brought a lot of massive storms and considerable amount of death. Marla's sadly witness as most of the life forms she joyfully grew up with began to die around her one by one as casualties to these events. Oral tradition and cultural folklore later in time agreed that Marlon named that phenomenon. She named it calamity.

  2:43  
There inspiration from the name is calamity itself, as this was the only thing of brought to Marla's beautiful world. strange and new feelings began to grow inside Marlis particular soul. She found herself confused by these new way of thoughts and a mirage of never before felt emotions. She no longer felt happy, and she no longer felt sad. Marla was angry, and internal consuming energy she had never dealt with before. These rates made her feel nervous and dazed, her sight was clouded. And her way of thinking changed. Suddenly, the window used to help her dance, now brought with it lots of debris and particles of destruction with it, causing a lot of pain to warm up upon contact. She did not know what to do, and deep inside her, she knew there was little she could do. This sense of hopelessness made her even angrier, to the point that the colors that once used to beautify her began to dim in a painful display of decay. It was at that point in her existence when everything changed.

  4:13  
Mulkey was more or less friend. He was a younger flower growing near Marla's site, not too far away. They spoke every morning and share points of view just about every subject that was and about everything they felt compelled to know a little bit more about the to learn from each other Marlis longer living time brought with it maturity and somewhat of validity to everything she said however, Multis young and pure way of processing information also contributed with its innocence and clean heart. And this time, it was him becoming the voice of reason. He won Marla about this rage and hate that was growing inside of her

  5:00  
He tried to make her understand that sometimes situations change what and who we are, because they probably are meant to be and not necessarily because they represent a direct attack on us. And even if that was not the case, if he did, we were to be confronted with such a vile conflict directed towards any of us individually, carrying a sense of anger and hate towards the event will more than likely make the pain eternal rather than the moment taneous. Mulkey knew that the ire in Marla's soul was worse than the calamity that represented calamitous. That evil phenomenon was now gone. Sofia was now in a natural, an unavoidable reconstruction phase, beauty and life itself always find a way. And although destruction and death were visible and capable of being felt, the sun rose once again. And the cycle of this universal dance began all over again.

  6:19  
Every one was being part of it, everyone, except Marla.

  6:25  
And this made Malky extremely sad. He tried to make Marla also understand that carrying such a burden could potentially destroy her. He tried to make her understand that bad feelings do not mix with good souls, and that this repelling force of nature is a destructive one. As light and shadows could never coexist. Neither could love and beauty coexist with hate in life decline, Marla was headed into a very dark and lonely place, and only she had the keys to avoid it. Mulkey knew that if Marla did not change your way of thinking, Columbia Thorne must have already killed her then, even though she was still alive.

  7:09  
There is not sufficient information passed on through history about what really took place in solarium with Marla and Mulkey as it relates to calamity THON and these tragic events. But legends and folklore oral traditions say that Marlon never recovered from calamity Jones deadly blow. Her anger and fury never subsided at an unbroken constant tears of rage and hate. She cried so much. From all these terminal feelings that the soil that once gave her life suddenly became the tomb of her demise. Too much water in the form of her tears in this case, acted as if Marla underwent a process of over watering the ground. This intern eliminated the very few pockets of oxygen that were left for her to leave. The lack of oxygen ultimately killed her. Some say if you happen to visit that gorgeous valley in the eastern coast of Seoul Xian. There is a small brown dirt patch where life is unable to grow. Many believe this is where Marla one stood, and where the consequences of her decisions made a permanent mark. And if we pay attention to this cautionary tale, we can all then easily identify with both Mulkey and Marla because we can all see ourselves recognizing that we have all met Callum Ethan one way or the other. We have all experienced those temperatures moments of iron when life seems unfair with us and have made us reconsider the way we think. But what he's certainly sure all around us is that the ability to forget and to forgive helps us to manage and to go through any storm with ease.

  9:03  
We must learn to let go of these unwanted feelings and thoughts that gradually destroy the very essence of who we are in a methodical destructive attack. By hanging on to our emotional and spiritual burdens, we too could potentially overwater our soil and create our own self destruction. It makes no sense. It hurts to think how painfully slow marvelous death was, and I did not want to feel that myself. Even worse, it was probably even harder for Malky to forget how her beautiful friend died in such a way. This is quite frankly easy to understand as well. What we decide to do with forgiveness and our ability to forget the harm that others have brought upon us can quite possibly also affect all the people that truly care about us. They unwillingly become collateral damage of a conflict they were never a part of

  10:21  
Sorry there is something we can learn from this story is to try to find room in our hearts to forgive and to forget, because we are all part of our own soul DNA, and we'd need not to become a lifeless patch on the ground. There is so much we can all contribute with only if we decide to stick to our brighter colors, rather than to fade with a passing phenomenon just like Allama cola. If we do not remove ourselves from that bitterness, we will be repeating moralist story, we will continue to soak the ground out of oxygen until we find ourselves emotionally and spiritually dead.

  11:02  
Let us consider a change for you. And for those who truly care about you. You are loved regardless. And things will get better if you learn to simply let go and live your life to its fullest. I hope this new year helps you get there
