Leah and Seth - An eternal sleep

A sad night is over. Is time to get up from a dark dream. It had been a heavy night and Leah was happy to know that it had been a bad dream. She opened the window and breath clean air... she felt free.
She quickly dressed informally -in a way that was considered "high society" -. Yet her dress still looked elegant. She ran up to her horse and began to ride free ...


With no place to go, with a blank mind, concentrating all her forces on the reins of her horse, the trees seem to move sideways when entering a remote and unknown road, however she continues. She goes through a completely green forest.

<< nature is beautiful>> she thought. And she couldn't realize that at that time she was there as part of a wonderful scene.
She stopped her horse when she saw a river, stopped and stared at the water was so clean that it could be reflected in a mirror if hows.

Suddenly the sky darkened in what could be an eclipse, and she went behind a shadow, as if hypnotized started to walk, if she didn't know where to go now less.

Beside appeared thousands of images, memories that had been buried for years for being so painful. She could see her father's death in the war, saw it very clearly though she had not been there.

She saw her mother crying, saw her take a rope adjusting her neck and hanging from a tower. But she couldn't feel anything. Just walked. She had crossed the forest and headed back to an increasingly distant place.

She also remembered the dream she had that morning. It was in a church next to Seth, the man who wanted to marry her and Leah hated. But the scene wasn't beautiful. The sky was gray, as off like it was also sad. Her dress was black and her tears red as if crying blood tears. No. It was not a dream, that's what would happen. So she decided to run away from her fate.

Somehow she realized that she had reached a ravine. The view from there was terrifying but amazing. The clouds were so high that seemed to come to heaven. She looked at her dress looked surprised to realize that it was not that she had chosen blue in the morning but a white one. She looked like an angel.

The air began to blow and fell a gentle breeze. She felt a great peace. She felt happy and started walking, her bare feet touched the clouds and could walk in them without any problem.


Shortly afterwards many people around. She was on the ground and bleeding, with a rose in hand. A rose that had once been white but was stained red by much blood.


A bell rang faintly and then another, people around her talking but their voices were growing fainter until it was all gone and she was sleeping on the grass in a dream she'll never wake up.

The end

Many times we make decisions without thinking of the consequences, but it is always better to face our problems instead of run away from them.
