Pretty Poison

By SMYGO4EVA

The realms surrounding our own world are mysterious and dangerous. Elysian and Heaven are the holy realms in which the pure individuals can linger, but Hell and Earth are where the corrupt souls thrive and wallow in their own bloodstained graves. The ruby liquid is a poison that continues to live inside us, to make sure we humans stay alive. If the blood is lost from us, we simply die. Blood is the true poison of humankind all, but we crave it.

Two maidens of death seek demise because they can control it; they can decide whether one lives or one perishes based upon their actions in their existence. They seek it because punishing individuals when it's them who should drink the poison is immoral. They must've killed thousands, because so many people do hellish crimes beyond compare. They're one of them; the humans who kill, take and steal and they can never undo that. They've spilt blood, and now, it's their turn to perish.

Blood is their poison in which they know that drinking the pure blood would erase their existence. But they didn't care; they wanted to be pure again, to be innocent as the angels in Elysian and Heaven were. So they drank the pretty poison and there was only white in their vision. A beautiful color, it was. White as the purity of humankind and white as their last breath.
