It was a busy train-station.
He looked at her.
She was already looking at him.
He always looked smart dressed in grey.
In her white gown, she looked ethereal as usual.
Their eyes always met from across the station...
Despite the distance, there seemed to be a divine connection.
The love-signal was strong.
They longed for each other with all their heart, truly wanting to belong.
That night there was a massive thunder and lightning strike that plunged the city to darkness.
In the morning, the commuters noticed that the two recently installed marble statues were missing from their pedestals...
Have you ever imagined what if statues come to life? What would they do? What stories would they say?
Do we have to be fully human to feel fully alive? Do you believe that love makes one come to life?

I often wonder what statues get up to after the lights are turned off. I bet Rodin's 'The Kiss' has a great 'ole time!

That was a fun read, Anita. I love the idea... I was half expecting this to be going on at night when all was closed... but to run off like that? Well now...
