The Last Petal | A 100 Word Story
#738 - The Beauty and the Beast
A rose encased in a glass prison. Hidden away from sunlight and rain. If no thing, man or beast, air or earth, could touch it, influence its existence, then it would live on forever. And as the rose lives so does man and beast, air and earth, young and old.
When the first petal fell, there was war. There was anger. Everyone confused. No one had answers. As each petal fell it became a blame game. Everyone and no one caused this. Everyone and no one shoulda/coulda/woulda fix this!
There is one petal left. Waiting unto the end.
CHINA - Chinese Fairy Tale
