"Nothing"

Something that I typed up quickly earlier. It's inspired heavily by the short film Pillow; which I think will be very apparent to anyone who's seen the film.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The two boys

Walking along the road

Finally saw

An Angel.

They asked her

For a new house

And she said

"Nothing can be made

Out of nothing."

But they asked her

Again and again

Until she said

"Alright."

A bright flash of light

And the trees were all gone

But they had

A new house.

The two boys

Working out in the yard

Finally saw

An Angel.

They asked her

For bountiful crops

And she said

"Nothing can be made

Out of nothing."

But they asked her

Again and again

Until she said

"Alright."

A bright flash of light

And the nearest family

Soon died of starvation

But the boys had

A bountiful harvest.

The two boys

Shivering in their living room

Finally saw

An Angel.

They asked her

For firewood

And she said

"Nothing can be made

Out of nothing."

But they asked her

Again and again

Until she said

"Alright."

A bright flash of light

And their house was gone

But they had

Plenty of firewood.

The two boys

Only one awake by the fire

Finally saw

An Angel.

He asked her

For food

And she said

"Nothing can be made

Out of nothing."

But he asked her

Again and again

Until she said

"Alright."

A bright flash of light

And his brother was gone

But at least he had

Hot food.

The one girl,

Walking along the road,

Finally saw

An Angel.

She asked her

To be alone out there

And she smiled and said

"Nothing can be made

Out of nothing".

A bright flash of light

And the last boy was gone

And the girl

Was alone

With the Angel.

Considering cutting the last three verses, and just letting it stop at "But at least he had hot food". Thoughts?
