A firefly's monologue #29

"I chose a short life. And now I can't say for sure if I'm too happy about it. I wanted to do more, maybe not a lot more but I want, you know, maybe a little bit longer?"

"What would you feel if I tell you you're still due for yet a few more decade hence?"

"You mean I got more years before me?"

"Are you happy?"

"That wasn't the plan."

"But are you?'

"I just wanted to do a few more things, and that's it. Nothing more."

"Are you happy?"

"I can't say I'm not-"

"Regrets can really be too overwhelming."

"I just want to live long enough so I could be content about. I don't want a long life."

"But right now, to how you're doing, you aren't too happy about it. You want live more."

"Yes! I want to live more but not too long."

"Have you chosen how you would die?"

"Can I?"

"You've already decided a short life, why not choose how you'd end your short story?"

"I am no author."

"I'm always mesmerize by the light. So maybe one day I'll die burning."

"Are you not afraid?"

"How can one be afraid of death if one is already satiafied with how one lived?"

"What about leaving a great impact to this world? A certain kind of mark to remember you by. What about those who love you? Aren't you afraid for those?"

"Life will go on."
