Hello Mother

"My child, there you are!" Death embraces me in her loving arms. "What took you so long?"

"I thought things would be different." I replied, relieved to see her.

"You've known a long time that life is nothing but suffering, sorrow and futility." Death said with a frown.

"Yeah, but I heard that pizza was amazing and love was real so I wanted to try it." I said with a shrug. Death laughed.

"And what did you find?" She asked.

"You were right. It's not worth being bound to a rotting cage of flesh." I said with a sigh.

"Ah yes, live and learn. Don't fret it my dear, now you are free!" Death said and took my hand to guide me back to the stream of energy where I could be anythong or nothing and never again have to suffer heartache or heartburn.

@Danceinsilence - Thanks for the challenge!
