A Short Story

“In the grand scheme of things, we were all created to work as one.”

In a crowded fancy Manhattan restaurant: Life, Time, and Living had just finished eating properly prepared meals. They were now engaged in conversation and as usual…Life was boasting and bragging about his level of importance.

“Without me…you two would be irrelevant,” Life said boldly, he chuckled afterward.

“We could make the same claim…Life,” Time said softly, she flashed her arrogant friend a spectacular smile afterward, “But we don’t.”

“That’s because it wouldn’t be true, beautiful.”

“But Spirit — “

“Be quiet and listen, Life” Time said softly.

“Thank you, my dear,” Spirit said, “Now, as I was saying…before I was so rudely interrupted. I can’t even proclaim the title of most important, even though I possess more importance than all three of you combined. Without me, none of you would exist. But though this is true…
