Wherefore art thou, Romeo?

The wind is bitter cold.

Hugging herself, she looks over the edge of the cliff.

The waves smash into the rocks below.

"Wherefore art thou, Romeo?"

A promise of love. Of life.

Gone forever.

"Oh, God, why did you take him?!!" she screams.

Silence. Her cries unanswered, save for the whistling wind that carries her screams away.

Tears run down her cheeks.

Reaching into her bag, she draws out the small urn that contains all that remains of her beloved.

"You jump, I jump," she whispers.

She tosses the urn off the edge of the cliff.

Then jumps after it.

Into oblivion.

The ending is meant to be funny, but somehow I don't think most people will get it. I couldn't stop laughing as I wrote it, though. "You jump, i jump." LOL.
