Come embrace the darkest lie...
Cigarette smoke. A story comes to my mind. A story of the love of a man and a woman. Of course, not everything is perfect. They have a 15 years difference. But that didn't stop neither of them to love like he never did in his life.
I can guess you are curious what happens with them in the end, but to understand that, you first have to read the story. Let's call him N., and her - Jhee.
N. was almost 34. A few days were left to his birthday when he met her - she was alone at the bar in the pub, a cigarette in her hand and a glass of alcohol in front of her. N. went closer and looked at her. He could still see tears on her round face, that left thin black lines. He sat on the bar next to her. Oh, how little was needed and he fell in love with Jhee...
The next few days they saw each other at the pub, they talked, but they didn't know the other's name.
- So, are you going to tell me your name, Stranger?
- Are you?
- I asked first.
- N.
- Jhee.
They smiled at one another and then, just like in a cheap Hollywood romance, a beautiful ballad played and he asked her to dance.
I guess you know what happened next. Jhee fell in love with him, though she is 18 and 34. No one approved of their relationship, her friends said she had no business with him and so on, and so on, but they stayed together.
A few months later Jhee didn't come to meet N., she didn't pick up her mobile, not her home phone. He went to her house. Went in and how surprised was he when in the corridor a path of rose petals and candles awaited him. He followed it to the bedroom. Opened the door and saw her on the bed - in a light lace nightgown, with a burning stare. She was lying there, innocent, embraced by passion. A tension fell over N., his senses felt only her. Her perfume...
And she closed her eyes...
And she gave wholly...
And she inhaled the unholy scent of passion...
If N. only knew he was embracing the darkest lie...
I remember how I woke up. I was there, in bed, in my darkest suit - that of the night. The memory of last night was devouring the truth.
And I closed my eyes...
And I gave into the memory wholly...
And I inhaled the unholy scent of passion...
I went up looking for her. I found drops of blood on the snow white bathroom floor. The trail led me to the kitchen... and there was Jhee... on the wall it was written in her blood "I love you Nathaniel" and she herself was lying breathless on the floor.
Then I, Nathaniel, made her a promise. I made it to myself, I made it to her. I promised to tell our story and show what consequences can love have. What power can it have... and how from a wonderful feeling it can turn into the darkest lie...

Truly is dark. But I like it. <3 And the song goes great with the story, you are a genius to think that up. :D
i liked it.. but it wasn't of the same calibre as your others, while still an intriguing tale.. it seemed a bit.. out and about.. i dunno.. didn't hold the smoothness of the other stories. Dont get me wrong, its still good, but not the right kind Sil..
It is an unusual one, I know. It has nothing to do with my other writings, this I know too, but I seem to be addicted to the effect it has when you read it with the song playing. ;)
she killed herself because she was so much in love?!...... uuhhh dont get me wrong but a bit too much overdoing it, and love doesnt really form in days, thats just a crush :I hahaha i'm being kinda mean (dont hate me XD) its a great piece (not just saying that :D )
More because of the pressure everyone put on her. You know, the stupid age difference and stuff... I have no actual idea why she killed herself. xD
And you are wrong, love can be bred in a matter of minutes, believe me. ;)
no thats just a crush beleive me ;D XD but then who knows....
Well then, I have to say you've never been in love. :P
you may be surprised :P :P
ive had both, love isnt formed at a glace, its a crush, it may turn to love afterwards but it isnt then, let me put it this way, the love in first sight will fade away after 3 days max, if you dont see the other one! love might come if you do!
I must disagree with you, really. Love is an illusion, but nevertheless, illusions are formed in a matter of minutes.
Crush and love at first sight are really really close to each other, at least in my view. :)
maybe :P
