Greed Green Goblin (Short Story)

“Humans won't ever be satisfied.”

“Because they’re greedy.”

—--------------------------------------------------

“The sky didn't turn out the color I wanted.”

The sky stretched to the horizon, mirroring the shade of the sea. The collision between waves sent a rhythm of quiet song. The cloud resembled the shape of an apple.

I tilted my face upward, gazing onto the sky with these twin moons. As if yearning for something, a miracle.

As if, the beauty of the scene did not fully satisfy me.

Might as well widen my mouth, who knows if heaven would bestow the earth with another apple.

…..aaaaahhhhh…

A drop of rain fell onto my tongue - perfect shot.

From an apple to a droplet. This so-called god’s mockery?

Or was it just human greed stretched greater than this sky?
