Landing in front of the hospital, Rainbow recalled the words that were written on the scroll, and they played endless scenarios that were deleterious and distressing. And yet the scenarios made actual sense; but Rainbow denied their harshness, for love made her blind to the realisms that they illustrate. And now, it would only be a matter of time before Rainbow saw how grim life could be, even when it would be redeemable as unfair.

Her room number is 256.” “Now, was that so hard?” Rainbow stormed her way up to the second floor.

Rainbow saw and heard the frantic scenes of death and despair as she passed the rooms with dying patients who had what looked like a loved one crying aloud. Rainbow, in her utmost consternation, was now too scared of the unknown, but gathered her mindset for a determined try. After finding Twilight’s room, she sought not to pass through the door, but, within moments, she opened the door and walked
Much of life results from choices we make. How we meet every circumstance, and also how we allow those circumstances to affect us dictates our life.

Everyone at some time in their lives must come to the realization that they or others around them will not live forever. After they come to that moment of realization, they will either accept death when it comes and live life to the fullest or deny and live a more sheltered life.
