Mending And Healing
“Why must you be always kind?”
Vinette’s anger explodes, as tears rain down, “Aren’t you tired of being kind to a cruel world?”
“Do you know another way to heal or mend cruelty?” Xyena, asked as she paid for their lunch at Charlie’s Café a few blocks from their home.
Wiping tears away with napkins the Café provided for their customers, she went on, “Must you try to heal or mend everyone’s pain and the thoughtlessness humanity just don’t know how to stop sharing?”
“Right now, you lost a damn good job because of envy. Your rent is due in three days, plus your car note, student loans, and other credit card bills,” Xyena reminds her.
“Oh god!” she wailed grabbing the attention of other patrons.
“This is the first time you have left your apartment in fourteen days. You haven’t answered any calls and have managed to push everyone away,” Xyena adds.
“I can’t believe that she lied and got me fired!” Vinette wailed.
Reaching over to console her, Xyena soothes, “What would you like to do right now?”
“I just want back my life.”
“Who do you think can give it back to you? Someone cruel to you? Or someone who is kind?”
