“No! Don’t leave me! I’m sorry, I swear I’ll never ignore You again!” I sobbed as I tried to catch hold of Her. Or even the helm of Her dress.

“No! Come back! Speak to me! I know You wanted to tell me something but I just woke up! You know how bad-tempered I am when I just woke up in the morning, especially when I haven’t had my coffee yet! Please!” I screamed and I ran after Her. “Stay!”

The faster I ran though, the farther She appeared to be. She had never looked more beautiful than She was then, Her long flowing hair and fluttering dress, the epitome of elegance. And I was losing Her to the unknown abyss!

I had to do something! Anything! And quick!

“It’s all Their fault! They’re not around when You wanted to speak to me!” I pointed to my trustworthy friends. Better They be dead than Her, each to His own!

“Hey, don’t you dare lay this on Me!”

“What do you mean I’m not around? I was right there near to you!”

“I work as hard as you do, you know! But there is only so much I can do!”

“No!” I screeched. “Come back!”
