Hello Greed

"No! You're evil and manipulating and cause so much hate and I have nothing to do with you!" She spoke in such a rapid voice that it was clear she was lacking confidence in the words she spoke.

"Oh," he slid his wrinkly, battered finger under her chin, "you have never desired anything ever?" He cocked his head, curiously.

"No! Just leave me alone!" Her back pressed even harder against the wall behind her and her tears raced even faster along her face.

"I'm sure you have never desired to be prettier or smarter and you must have never even attempted to fit in. How blessed am I to meet such a perfect little angel." He backed away and turned about to walk away.

"You're greed!" He stopped to face her again, "You're terrible, everyone says so. Don't try manipulating me because that will not work on me."

"Society is the one who has manipulated you." He paused, debating whether he should say it or not, "We have more in common than you think."

"No we don't at all! I'm good and you're evil. We can never ever have anything in common, ever."

"Sure," finally he walked away and as much as she wanted to call him back, she just couldn't face him anymore.
