Immortality

        She was stunning; the kind of girl that made men kill.  Ruby lips, gold hair, jade eyes, and marble skin adorned her face. 

        Now, she rots for all eternity in a box in the ground. In 10,000 years, archaeologists will dig up her coffin only to find a titanium hip and knee and marvel at her perfectly preserved bionic appendage. How frivolous all this seems at times.
