The Tale of the Water Garden Twins
There lived two beautiful daughters,
Born on the same day as each other and slept right next to each other
They were inseparable, laughing together, walking together, working together…. Never finding one in a room all alone.
But the world is unpredictable, as someone’s fortune could lead to another’s misfortune.
One sister being highly praised and awarded for her dependence in all she had done.
Like a bird finally being able to leave its mothers nest..
One sister being left to the side, being ignored for her sister’s sake.
Like a lone old building being forgotten slowly being torn away by the world.
They were A L M O S T inseparable, laughing together, walking together, playing together, working together….
Would A L M O S T never find one in a room all alone.
After years and years of being shafted, one of the twins finally had enough,
‘Meet me in the town water garden please…. I need you’
The twin had prayed that her sister would understand her grips and would share those years of neverending spotlight…
But our world is a cruel mistress, as terrible influences can never truly be far from our reach.
Finally being given the praise she deserved, only for her sister to say she didn’t deserve it…
That maybe she would actually be praised for something if she didn’t
keep leaching off of her back
slap………
The sounds echoed throughout the garden
along with the quiet chirps of the passing birds.
Before exchanges could continue, the twin bolted from the scene.
In utter shock of what her sister had become…
Not knowing that would be the last exchange they ever had…
They U S E D T O be inseparable...
They had laughed together, walked together, worked together…
….Forever being in their own rooms all alone.

The story itself was about….well, life. Sibling can grow up together, be each other's best friends. And yet, life can take all of that away in an instant. There’s rarely ever any best friends forever, usually only best friends for the moment. Pretty dark you might think, but that’s the harsh reality for a lot of people. And I know there are exceptions, but most people don’t have those exceptions. But it’s not all dark and grim, you can keep those friendships. As long as you care about and are willing to keep them close, then those will never fade no matter the circumstances.
