Experiencing
Love
A woman who lost all hope
for love in her life sat in a park bench with a depressed look in her
eyes. As she sat in the bench contemplating her lack of smarts,
unlikeable personality and ugly looks a man approached her. The man
wore pure white from head to toe. He told her that he knew of her
plight and wanted to help. He told her that he could help her feel
love. She didn't even think for a moment about why this strange man
from nowhere knew about her. She didn't care. She asked how he could
do such a thing. He told it her it was simple. The man then handed
her a golden bracelet and instructed her to put it on. He explained
to her that all she had to do was hold it near someone experiencing
love then she would gain that love. He then told her that if she were
to ever take off the bracelet that she would lose that love forever
and it would go back to where it came. The man vanished when the
woman blinked leaving the bracelet behind.
She put it on eagerly and
looked around in park. She saw a couple holding hands on a nearby
bench. She passed by the bench with the bracelet. The couple then
pulled apart and the woman felt a surge go through her from the
bracelet. She felt like she was someone dying of thirst drinking
water when she felt the love. But it was only a drop. Though when she
looked at the couple she noticed them pulling away from each other
then looking at each other with cold looks. She realized that she had
taken it. But she didn't care. She went around the park finding more
couples and taking their love. She felt so alive. These moments
became dreams while the rest of her loveless life started to appear
like a lonely nightmare.
She then passed by a brother
and sister and the bracelet and it took their love too. This made her
realize that it would take any kind of love, not just the love of
couples. She passed by friends too. She toured the park taking the
love from every person she could find.
She ended up at an old
married couple sitting together holding their wrinkled hands. When
she stole their love it was the most intense of all. But not in the
passionate rush that young love was. This love had been refined over
decades.
This
love overwhelmed the woman and made her think of all the other love
in her body which still welled up inside her. When she looked around
the park she saw the depressed look she had only moments ago before
she wore bracelet on all the faces of the people she stole the love
from. She didn't want all of them to become her. But the love made
her feel so great. She gathered all all her strength and pulled off
the bracelet. The bracelet vanished and all the love returned to its
original owners. She lost it all, every little bit was pulled from
her heart with a powerful force, though she kept the strength she
gained from being able to pull off that bracelet. Using this strength
she sought out her own love and put it in her heart without any help.
