But one bright shining day it was darker than night. I went to work, and she was there. I was overjoyed--she was waiting for me, perhaps. She was there with her boyfriend, my best friend. I smiled, a false, lying smile like a cobra, as they told the news. I looked at her, still beautiful. How could she be with someone like him? It did not add up, how did they know each other? He was, perhaps, the worst worker of our group, he was lazy and would slack off for a whole day--if possible. Granted, he had an intelligence that, if days were minutes, it would sprout like a Morning Glory and be gone by noon. Perhaps he was handsome, but that could only last surface level, and you would strike fool's gold once the pick broke the crust. And yet that did not hide the fact that remained.
It was mystery, a dark, gory mystery I wanted to know, and was scared to know. I have never read a mystery book, but I think I now had a feeling of how the characters must feel, when a person they loved had died horribly, and the killer was unknown.
What was I to do? Nothing. I let this happen, I became friends with them both. And I wasn't envious, I just toiled away the days like normal, and I still spoke to her and him. And yet, this mystery, this tragedy, still lingers. How did this happen? Two and two don't fit this time, like opposite pieces of a puzzle. But life had jammed them into place. At the expense that my puzzle could not be complete, because those pieces belonged somewhere else. But what could I do? I just toiled away, until the setting sun and beyond.
The End
