They're both creatures of this world. One a beacon of light. The other...a pillar of darkness. Although one can not live without the other. They stand from a far and watch the flashing blue and red lights in the distance.

Life asked death,"Death? Why do people love me, but hate you?"

The lights are closer now and an ambulance's sirens can be heard. From behind his robe, faded souls stand close by. Looking out at their torn and ripped bodies.

Death responded,"Because you are a beautiful lie. And I am a painful truth."
