A Gift From The Heart

Ever since I was a little boy my heart had a special condition; it could bleed rubies.

Before then people didn’t like me that much saying that I looked weird and acted awkward around people. It all changed when my heart bled rubies. I would give people the rubies of my heart and they would become my friend. I made many friends with those rubies. I finally felt valued. I would play occasionally with those friends and it made giving the rubies all the worthwhile. One day I noticed that I was producing less and less rubies. Friends started to play with me less and less and the rubies just kept dwindling. Soon, no more rubies came out of my heart, my heart had run dry. I asked my friends whether they wanted to play but when they saw the lack of rubies, they all declined. I then realized that I had never made any friends. I started off just as hopeless as where I ended but now I truly had nothing of value.
