Do you know that old story?

Everybody keeps telling it nowadays.

It's about Life.

And Death, of course.

They say that Life is good.

Death is bad.

That's a really orrible stereotype, don't you think?

Well, I'm gonna explain the truth.

Death is actually a sweetheart.

And Life... Well, Life has always been a hoe.

Life is celebrated by everyone.

Death is not.

Why?

It's easy.

Humans are afraid.

Afraid of the Death.

Afraid of the darkness.

Afraid of being forgotten.

Everyone is a little bit scared of it.

Right?

~•~

There was a time, a long, long time ago, when Life and Death were friends.

The bestest of friends.

But then, something changed inside Life.

She was happy of being so loved by humans.

She became selfish.

Her powers grew.

And she started wanting more.

Death could just watch from a side.

They started fighting.

And their friendship slowly disappeared.

Everytime someone is near to pass out, Life and Death argue.

"I'm gonna make them live again. It's gonna be a miracle! The miracle of Life" She always says.

"No, you know you can't. It's my job to make a life end, you can't just do whatever you want" replies Death.

She is older than him.

But he's stronger.

And he always wins.

Well, most of the times.

~•~

One day, Life created another little soul, ready to became alive.

"This is one of my best creations. His life will be filled with success"

But Death tried to stop her.

"No, wait. I've seen the future of this soul. If it lives, it is gonna live an awful life. It's gonna be sad. Too sad for something delicate like a human. Please, let me take this soul, I will take care of it, I promise."

Life laughed: "What do you mean? It's my creation. Every single one of my creations is perfect."

And the little soul came to life.

Death was watching him from the door of the room where he was sleeping.

He sighed.

"I'm sorry, little one. I tried... I'm so sorry"

And he disappeared.

~•~

The child grew.

Just like Death predicted, his life was unhappy.

Full of sadness.

Rage.

Desperation.

And even, suicide thoughts.

The poor child just wanted to be happy.

But that was impossible for him.

One day, crying, he called for Death.

And he arrived.

He opened his arms and gave the kid a warm, gentle hug.

"You can't even imagine how sorry I am. Forgive me" he said, holding him tightly.

"I can't understand... why do you have to be sorry?"

"I tried to save you, but Life didn't want to. I'm sorry for everything that happened to you. I should have stopped her"

"Don't worry, it's okay. I'm with you now"

The child smiled.

But then, Life appeared.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING" -- she screamed -- "HIS LIFE STILL GOES ON. HE CAN'T DIE NOW-"

"Yes, he can" -- replied Death politely -- "he called for me, so now he can stay with me"

Life's eyes were full of rage.

She grinned.

"Well, what about a miracle?"

A tear ran down the child's cheek.

"No, please, let me stay with Death, I don't wanna go home. It's everything so grey and sad in that place-"

"Oh, too bad, darling. You will go home. This is my decision"

The child started fading away.

He grabbed Death's hand.

"PLEASE, LET ME STAY HERE-"

"I'm sorry, little one... But remember, one day we will meet again... I promise"

"NOOO-"

The child disappeared.

Death looked on the Earth.

The child was awake. And sad. Again.

"I failed my job..."

He turned away, and faded into the darkness.

Wow.
