This is the story of life.
Life is a cruel thing, many seem to over pass that important fact. I have not, and life doesn't like me either, so that helps me a lot.
It's ironic. His name was life, but he was never cruel to me.
And here is our story.

Life

Solace
No matter how close we tried to be, we never could be together.
"Gimme back Mel!"
Mel was his black little Bear which he had to have everywhere no matter what.
"Then you give me Rose"
Rose is a hat which I wore everywhre no matter what. I was a silly child, naming a hat.
Also my signafying the love of plants.
We had a simple life, always teasing each other. Our families were very close to each other, only a few feet in between the dens.
We loved going places, from beaches to volcanoes, from big cities to little villages.
The one place I had seen that he hadn't was a mountain.
The same mountain that hadviolently destroyed his older brother who was now unable to walk.
He had an insane fear of snow from that day forward.
Yet he so desperately wanted to go there.
Why you ask?
He needed to. That is all he ever told me.
So one day, just us two traveled north to the mountain. We liked to call it Mt. Marwolaeth.
"A.-a-aare you sure about this?"
"Of course"
I would always say that, whether I was sure or not.
I knew we were going to be in pain, whether it be physical or mental, when we headed back.
When we could finally see the mountain in the dense fog that shrouded our sights, both of us gasped simoultaiously.
"I'm nervous....."
He always said that.
Then he ended up loving it.
Always...
Always.
After the 56-mile trek that lay behind us, we stand at the foot of the mountain.
I looked over to see how Life was doing.
He had a look on his face that I- no one would, or could, describe. Pure horror.
Until I realise the is the exact spot that it happened.
The Avalanche.
We started slowly up the craggy mountain paths as slowly as we could, for the fear of falling.
As I naturally hurried ahead, he kept the slow pace.
As I got dangerously near the top, I screeched, I hadn't realised how high up I had gotten. Life was much too far down. Little had I noticed that when I screeched, the snow shook.
But that wasn't what I was worried about at the time.
And that was my mistake.
'Life! Where are you Life!?'
Is what I had yelled. Hearing no response, the snow in which direction I had yelled had started to move, gaining speed.
Fast, faster, and faster it went.
"Liffeee! Noo no nono Life! Where are you!!"
I heard a terrifying yelp.
And every thing went black.
I woke up, my paws black wtih frostbite.
I couldn't remember what had happened, that was common.
I had jsut assument Life had gotten to the top and saw me sleeping and decided not to wake me up and was waiting at the bottom, that's usually what he did if I fell asleep.
As I padded down the mountain, I saw the reminants of the Avalanche.
Then it all came back to me...
'I can't live with myself'
Is what I always thought.
Still heading downward, I searched for a body.
Hoping to myself 'Maybe he escaped it. Maybe he did'
Then I always remembered I had said 'maybe'.
Truthfully I did expect to see him, but I was wrong.
I never found him.
No fur, no teddy, no scent.
He disappeared.
But the snow had taken him from me.
I would never forget that.
I walked back in silence, not thinking about where I was going either so I ran into multiple tree and shrubs.
My fur was full of dirt and leaves. I still couldn't feel my paws, but it was getting warmer and so were they.
After the extremely long walk back to my den, I thought for a minute.
The think snow on the ground froze my paws again.
I walked over to my garden, it was dead. No surprise there..Wait
The snow had killed them. Just like Life.
I shall make a garden.
And it will live.
And it will be Glorious.
I'm sorry, Life. You were never cruel after all.
EDIT;;
Through the summer moths the planting was most definatly easy since the soil around us was soft and full of nutrients. I planted any and all seeds I could find, I didn't care what they grew in to. From a cactus, to a rose bush. I didn't care.
The Winter months are what destroyed them.
It snowed all day every day.
There was no way to keep the snow from getting to them except being there all day every day.
So that's what I did.
I grabbed some grass, my other scarf, and made a nest in the garden. Every hour I'd wake up and brosh the snow off, and every three hours I'd collect snow, put it in a bowl and have it melt so I could water teh plants.
I couldn't keep this up.
This story is very emotional to me, as it closely relates to me and my family.
