The taste of my life.

"Take this" She asked to her friend shaking the flowers on her hands and pointing out a small jar with some light red liquid.

- What is this? Manon asked.

- Just drink up. Maud replied so she drank it.

- How was it? She asked with open eyes really surprised.

- It was kind of sweet... just a little bit though.

- Geez! How can it be? Maud asked and made a cut in Manon's arm.

- Ouch! Manon screamed while Maud hold her hurt arm and licked it.

- What the...? Manon said and removed her arm from Maud's hands.

- It taste to iron! To iron and a bit salt! Maud cried.

- So what!? Have you lost your mind? Manon asked angrily.

- I am not... But Maud aren't you a sad soul? 

- What? Manon asked again.

- A sad soul!?

- What's a sad soul for you Maud? She wanted to know. But Maud stayed in silence for a while so Manon gave up and started walking away.

- When you can smile and jump and scream and be happy outwardly and apparently but inside it hurts, inside it's never okay and ever when it's okay there's a bad taste like if it's not completely fine and it'll never be! Maud screamed anxious with a preocupied face so Manon came back to her and looked at Maud seriously and more calm.

- I am. Manon answered.

- Then why does your blood taste different than mine!? Maud said annoyed.

- Because I am not sick in my body but in my soul only! I am simply big mess! But you're a huge one! A complete one! Manon said in her face and Maud laughed.

- Right, you're so right! This soul would be taken faster than yours, unlucky you. Maud saying happily and Manon laughed.

- We must be insane.

- We are. Maud said with a sad smile while a tear rolled her face, and Maud did nothing nor said nothing but laughed over the good/bad sense of her friend.

- Anyways Maud, why do you say "are" instead of "have"?

- Why? Well because you don't have a sad soul, you are a sad soul... without your soul you don't exist... you need body and soul to be a human and since we're humans we're bodies, we're souls... But you know, you and I, we're sad souls. No one can break us, we're already broken. Maud said and shot a wink smiling pleased, and Maud closed her eyes for a little.

- We should go and pray instead talking about these things. Manon finally said with a serious face.

- Let's go then. Maud replied.
