She Will Never Cry Again
Lucy walked with her head bowed low, moving on two numb legs. Her arms felt itchy and stung beneath her striped sleeves.
Dots of red bled through the spotless garment like two brilliant bracelets.
She found herself entering a graveyard; her icy, pale hand raking the rusted steel gate.
She gazed across a sea of tombstones, but didn't take in any of the sights.
Finally, she beheld a mausoleum in the distance, and her tired feet carried her toward it.
A man watched as the little angel seemingly glided toward her destination, her short black hair unmoving under the twilight moon.
Lucy sat down on a bench and turned to look at the bust resting on a pedestal at her side: some unknown person...
...just like herself.
She laid her arms on her lap and pulled the sleeves up one at a time.
A myriad of scars and fresh cuts, painted in oozing blood, zigzagged across her ghostly limbs.
And she felt tears begin to swell in her eyes.
Why can't I just die already!?
She'd tried. She'd tried hard...
She clutched her bleeding wrists around her shoulders, hugging herself for comfort she couldn't give, couldn't receive.
They don't love me.
She looked up at the moon hiding halfway behind a dark cloud.
They don't even know me!
She looked down at her hands and wished... No, she begged to whatever could hear her inner turmoil that she could have one more chance...
One more chance to end it all.
The man stepped from behind a barren oak tree. His cloak swept around a pair of black suede shoes as he appoached on the trail of a still wind.
When Lucy looked up, he was there; staring at her from under the rim of a fedora.
She looked into his eyes and finally found what she'd been looking for all her eight long, lonely years...
Understanding.
She held her wrists out to him; her eyes were twinkling with fresh tears; her mouth parted to whimper the agony in her soul.
"Please..."
The man was moved, and he knelt before her. One hand fell into his pocket. His other held her chin.
"What is wrong, little one?"
Her tears were dripping down her cheeks.
"No one loves me... no one even notices that I'm gone!"
His hand wrapped itself around a slender piece of shiny metal. His other stroked her cheek comfortingly.
His head tilted to the side and he frowned.
No one deserved the torment that she was going through.
"I can grant you one wish, little girl. Do you want it?"
Lucy's eyes sparkled with hope. She held her wrists more urgently in his face.
"Yes, I want it! Please..."
But the man pushed her hands down to her lap.
"Then, close your eyes, Lucy..."
Her back shivered as her name filled her cold ears like warm honey. Comfort washed over her unlike she'd ever felt before. And when her eyes closed, it was like she fell into a void of perfect peace.
Are you thinking of your wish, Lucy?
She nodded her head.
Yeah.
She felt a chilly hand tug on her shirt collar; inching around to the back where her spine met her head.
What is your wish?
She shivered again when warm air puffed in her face.
I want... to die.
She felt something icy rest on the crease on her neck and her breath hitched.
A beautiful girl like you shouldn't be crying...
That hand stroked the ridge of her spine, and she felt herself melting into the touch. Her body relaxed as her mind drifted farther and farther away from reality.
I'll grant you your wish, little angel.
Lucy felt a new tear fall down her cheek and her heart rejoiced because it was from happiness.
Thank you, sir.
Faster than a breath of air, a glint of reflected moonlight flashed across her neck.
And in the air, a hand held up a blood-stained knife.
The man rested her body on the bench and folded her arms over her breast.
Then, he reached inside her and lifted out a shimmering light... a translucent shape of the girl's image, sleeping with a smile on her face.
He turned and placed her shining figure on a dark cloud and watched as she ascended up into the moonlit sky.
And he felt a tear fall down his eyes...
She will never cry again.
