A chandelier. An open sign of poshness and upper class. Many people would walk in and out of the room and admire her beauty. She hangs loud and proud from the ceiling. People forget that someone once hang themselve's from that chandelier. That person's will was lost yet they were proud. Proud because they have the guts to do what most do not. Be loud.
Her beauty is tainted. Bloodstained. Not that manu people remember. The chandelier lives on. The person is still alive in her memory.
What bugs her the most is how easily she could be replaced. What if they get bored of her and want a new more modern model. How will she survive without her brother?
Her brother being the lightbulb that she covers. She brightens the room with her beauty yet he brightens the room everytime someone walks in. Light is needed to see his sister's beauty. Yet she masks the lightbulb's light with her own.
The light bulb looks up to his sister. He adores her. She has everything he wants. Beauty and attention. People would soon pay attention if he suddenly decided to stop working. Only it is the wrong type of attention.
The chandelier's brother does not realise this but she too looks up to her brother. He gives light willingly to anyone and everyone. He does not hold grudges. She could always drop one of her diamonds on one's head if she did not like them. Bombs away she would cackle. That would always make the chandelier's brother flicker with laughter. Her brother does not hold such grudges.
A light bulb is nessecary.
A chandelier is not.
This is a lovely twist on inanimate object's feelings! Only criticism, spell check (although to be honest i knew what you were writing anyway and it was the keyboard's fault in the end ;) ) I think that the way in which ou have shown that beauty is not everything is clear here, and that maybe the most beautiful things in life are the simple ones... or was that a little deep?! Either way, it's brill x
ReplyDeleteNo that is exactly what I was aiming for. I was talking to a friend about taking personification to the max as i did with the Socks piece and we were thinking about all the stories something could tell. So like the Chandelier or say a Teddy or a Nightstand.
DeleteYeah i wrote this out on my phone and I am not the best typer on a touchscreen keyboard i will have to admit.
