Time and the Order of Death

Mountain, Wolf, Oak, Bird, Dream, and I are here together today. All waiting the decision that time will announce about which or who will flee first from this siege.

We talk, kiss, sing and help each other, while not forgetting even for a moment, the deception. Although the world has more than enough space for all of us, we still feel cramped and stealthily we pray for each other’s death.

Then time starts reading its verdict. The first to go is Dream. After that, it’s Bird’s turn. Then Wolf and I start staring eye-to-eye, awaiting Time’s next judgment. Time announces Wolf's name to go before me.

Afterwards Oak and I start to hear the steps of death approaching us, and jealously we gape at Mountain’s head which is wrapped in a white scarf of snow.

It’s our turn. Oak and I have to go, before Mountain anyway. At least Oak promised me that if I am to go first Oak will come and be my coffin.
