Today the I ate
food. I suppose I'm conformist like that. Anyway onto the flash
fiction!
Ancient Age
Comes Before Beauty
“We look the
same, the jewelry that is our home is the same. Why are the price
tags beneath us different?” The young diamond, only a few months
old asked the million year old diamond in the other piece of jewelry
in the same case.
The old diamond
replied in the tongue of stone, “It is true our bodies are the
same. We share the same shining beauty that humans admire. But I have
learned something over the many, many years I have lived. Before I
became placed in this jewelery the humans traded me. They have
strange wants that are very difficult to understand. We are the same
yet you were manufactured. I am a creation of nature. So I have an
impossible age that cannot be replicated. They desire that.”
“Age? Why
does that matter to them?” The young stone asked, annoyed at his
apparent inferiority. Created by humans in a lab, yet viewed as a
lesser thing for being the exact same thing?
“I can only
guess young one. I have a few guesses, but maybe in another few
million years I will know if I'm right and why.”
