The message behind the words

So this is a story I'm making up as I go along.

One day a long time ago in a place far far away there sat Fred. Now Fred wasn't just anyone, Fred was a god. He was in fact the god of dirty gym shorts. As Fred sat there admiring the stars one evening, his long time gf Rachel walked up. Now Rachel was the goddess of the color green and pizza rolls. Needless to say Rachel was much better than Fred, but they were in love so it doesn't matter. Now Fred and Rachel were in a complex situation. See Fred was Jewish and Rachel was not. Now you may not see this as a problem but in a place far far away it was illegal for a Jewish god to date a non-Jewish god, much like 1940's Germany. However, they were apparently in love so it doesn't matter. Meanwhile, down on earth there was this poor traveler. He was constantly on the move and the only person who could ever keep up with him would have been a god or goddess. One day Rachel was flying around pretending to be a red-tailed hawk, when she saw the traveler. She swooped down and asked him his name. "I am Constantine," he said, "and who are you?" Rachel had never revealed her true self to anyone before but for some reason decided to trust this man. She told him her name, however didn't show him anymore than herself as a hawk. As time went on, Rachel and the traveler became closer and closer. Rachel began revealing more and more of herself and Constantine did the same.
Well Fred began to get suspicious of Rachel's actions and in a fit of jealousy he banned Rachel from seeing Constantine ever again. Fred began following her every movement and constantly asking of her whereabouts and who she was talking to. Finally, he locked her in a tower. Now the world was thrown into peril, especially that of Constantine. Imagine a world with no green and no pizza rolls. That was all that life was to Constantine. He loved the color green and because he was a traveler he only had a microwave and pizza rolls.
Constantine could not stand the thought of never having what he loved the most. So he went to a place far far away and climbed the tower to save Rachel. However, when he got to the top she didn't want to be saved. She thought she was in love so it doesn't matter. Even though Fred had done all these things she wanted to stay with him, because he was the only one who had ever cared back to her.

There is a moral to this story however it is one for you to find on your own.

"One swallow does not make a summer." Aristotle
"A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song." Chinese Proverb
