The Tour

By SilencedAngel

Welcome to the pit of despair.

You look familiar.

I think I have seen you before though it was a long time ago.

Perhaps we can speak more of this after the tour is done.

Shall we begin?

As you can plainly see, on the left is the heart.

Why is it so scarred?

Well, you see, the owner she just kept giving it away even though we both know that isn't a wise thing to do these days.

But she never learned her lesson, the silly thing.

On the right is the soul.

Why are there so many holes you ask?

Well as I said before, the owner is rather silly.

She kept giving so much that she started to let people take pieces of her soul when there wasn't anything let to give of her heart.

Then, when promises were not kept, she didn't know what to do to fill up what she had so foolishly given away.

So now there are all these holes, please do watch your step.

We don't want anymore accidents in here.

Accidents you ask?

Oh now that is a story for another time my good person.

Let us continue with the tour, shall we?

Up ahead you see what is left of the mind.

Now before you ask, with everything that has happened to the owner, she doubted herself even more than before.

The truly sad part is that she wasn't really all that bad once.

Now, look, she is just a mess.

Just between you and me, I am surprised that she is still around.

But I am afraid that is the end of the tour.

There really isn't anything else to see here.

Before you go though, how about a drink?

You look like you could use it.

What?

Haven't you seen what love can do to a person when they give it their all?

You haven't??

My, my, my, you are lucky.

Here is your drink my friend.

May you have a safe journey and do come back again.

As you well know, we are always open for business.
