Challenge of the Month II
The Gift. Write the story of a gift, passed from one hand to another. Perhaps it is a heart-warming gesture of kindness and goodwill. Or perhaps it is something more foreboding, more sinister. Perhaps it is a simple, material object. Or perhaps it is something more amorphous, more esoteric. Whatever it is, it must be a gift. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.

The Water And The Sun

Before the world contained creatures, there was Water. She just so happened to fall in love with the Sun, who was always above her, shining. The Sun was deeply in love with the Water, as well and wanted nothing more than to be close to her.

One day, the Water asked the Sun, “Is there any way for me to be with you in the sky?”

She replied sadly, “No, for you would be burned beyond repair.”

“Then please just bring me closer to you,” the Water pleaded, and the Sun wanted the water with her, as well. So, the Sun bestowed upon the Water her rays of light. The water flew up into the sky with joy, the light shining through her bursting into thousands of colors. But, once the Sun seemed almost close enough to touch, the Water began to fall back down to the earth. Devastated, she cried every tear she could bear to shed as she descended. The Sun frowned and shone less brightly, causing the world to fall into a gloom.

However, the Sun is always giving the Water the gift of her rays as to be closer to her, even though they must never touch.
