Even angels can end up falling

Sometimes life hits you hard when you least expect it. Today you might live in a pink universe, while tomorrow, your world might easily turn black. Shouldn't the transition be first made to grey, and afterwards to black? It probably should. But life is often extreme; whether it gives you too much, whether it takes everything from you. This is unfortunately a lesson that people learn too late.

This is also Allysa's case. She went from having everything, beauty, health, a prosper career and a respectful husband, to having nothing. In only one day, she got fired from the company where she had been working for, for more than a decade, her husband dumped her.

But Jack, what happened? I thought we were ok...

I just don't love you anymore, Allysa, sorry.

How can you simply STOP loving someone just by snapping your fingers?

It happened in time.

You have someone else...tell me!

Uh, that's not it, I told you ten times! Enough...I don't want to have this conversation anymore.

Jack walks out the door and leaves her drowning in tears. Just when she thought things could not get worse than that, at the end of the day, she finds out that she has terminal cancer. Her desperate screams are left without an answer. She cannot change anything, no matter how much she wishes to wake up from this burning nightmare.

She falls down. With her last strengths, she tries to get up, saying herself:

Get up! You are stronger than you thought! Even angels can end up falling...
