His name was Lion. He
appeared out of nowhere. Just out of the blue; one moment I was all alone
feeling as insignificant as a fly on the wall, then he came. I felt so
important all of a sudden. I knew we were meant for each other, although he
didn’t even know me yet. Slowly, we became friends, and as things progressed I
often thought I caught him looking at me more and more, and in a way that made
me feel hopeful. On my birthday, he finally asked me. We were inseparable after
that…or so I thought. The end of school was approaching, and we were forced to
study harder, meaning there was less time for us to be together. Finally, after
all of the tests were over we got back together. Laughing, talking, or simply
being with him was indescribable. I knew I had finally found the one. Then one
evening, we were walking along a creek, it was nearly sunset. All at once we
stopped and looked into each other’s eyes; his deep blue, with a hint of green;
drawing me deeper and deeper into his love. The songs of all the birds seemed
to mix into such a pleasant and peaceful melody. Then just as he was leaning in
to kiss me, I heard the shot. He froze, motionless for a moment, and then he
fell; it seemed almost to happen in slow motion. Behind him I saw the hunter;
she had finally caught the lion off guard. I do not recall hearing or feeling
the pain of the second shot; all I remember is seeing that face of the friend I
thought I knew so well. Just before it was over she said, “Emma, I warned you
not to go for him.” Those were the last words my friend ever spoke to me before
she ended my life; the last and terrible words spoken to me by Anne, whom I had
trusted and confided in with so much.
Well, I should probably get to bed... I'll probably write more early this morning though. I love everyone... and Lion. Oh, and I sent a pciture of a lion to my dear friend to see what she'd do, and she hasn't responded. Whatever.... GOOD NIGHT!

Oh, and here's a picture of a lion...
That's right, it's a lion... and me, with the lion... Since you are probably now reading this Anne.... There ya go you can look at it all night long if you wish ;) Okay, now I must really get my sleep. Good Night y'all!
--Still Glowing!
