When we die, they put lilies in our hands

TRUMAN, with a sharp expression, looked deeply into each other's heart and saw the heart of others. His closed eyes were accompanied by the rhythm of the beating of his heart, so he forgot himself and that he was a writer.

PERRY smelled of a stray animal, a wounded beast wandering around.

TRUMAN said, "Perry and I were like growing up in the same room. One day, he left the house through the back door, and I left the front door."

What is life, a small shadow moving on the grass, in an instant disappeared into the sunset. The murderer sees the dead self in the eyes of the slain, trembling slightly, smiling slightly, human nature is flickering with dizzy senses in the swing swaying in the summer wind. Don't say that you are smart, don't say that you understand, in the bottom of the heart, there is no end. If you see other people, if you are trapped in someone else's soul, then go to sleep. Get some sleep first. Maybe when you go to sleep, she just speaks, a language that is too much above you, and you wake up from your dream.

This is a riddle. A lot of people just like being in riddles.

Lily is a too pale flower, she said. When we die, they put lilies in our hands.
