Mindy's prompt II: Describe an experience with happiness

“You are too young to be this sad, thinking about the world as if it is an epidemic put upon you”.

But, the old woman knew that the child was like the world biting on its wart that can’t be taken off. Thus, is the child crying and sewing itself upon the thing that keeps tearing it open and apart from itself - go away, ugly child, solitary suites you better than being loved by a thing that can’t. A bleeding refusal: like that of a wailing child at a grocery store.

Please stop that child’s unhappiness, but the man and wife look the other way, towards different aisles - quickly scurrying to grab the needed necessities: scissors to cut the throat and duck tape to yield the crying. Forgetting some little ingredients to keep sewing each other back together once they have cut the knot they made (her in a white dress and him, wearing pride). A year might pass, and not at the store, but apart, each on the other side of coach - like the soup that stares at the peanut butter - discussing that the other is not fit to want the opposite, and why we fall for the thing that makes us the least happy.
