                            Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas; they live in one another still.  For they must needs be present, that love and live in that which is omnipresent.  In this divine glass, they see face to face; and their comverse is free, as well as pure.  Tis is the comfort of friends, that though they may be said to die, yet their friendship and society are, in the best sense, ever present, because immotrtal.

                               William Penn, More Fruits Of Solitude

                       When in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself, and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featur’d like him, like him with friends possess’d,
Desiring this man’s art, and that man’s scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee,—and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven’s gate;
For thy sweet love remember’d such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

William Shakespere

             “Hey Artemis!”

“Hello, who is this? This is dominoes pizza would you like cheese with that.”

“Um no I think I’ll take my toppings in a fractional order of peporoni tomato pepper and keep reapeating until it reaches the center.”

“Whatever that will be 6.65 please pull up to the next window.”

“Hey artemis.”

“Hey Holly, how is the economy down there, any gold up for sell possibly?”

“No afraid not artemis.”

“So what the emergency?”

“Well I was going to have a buisness meeting with a friend of mine about the overpopulation of the nomes on Cherry Street. But he had to cancel last minute and it’s a really expensive restrant do you think you could go?”

“Sure how should I get there?”

“Take your private jet to dublin and I’ll meet you there.”

“Deal but you have to by the meal?”

“Mud men so protective of there money.”

“See you in two hours Holly, Blip”

“Wow I really scored one with artemis! Thanks Foaly I did’nt know you were that good at picking up male dates.  Experience pays off I guess.”

“You know I could announce to all of haven about your relationship with a mud boy!”

“Dont even joke about that stuff foaly, blip.”

    I love how you start the story with metaphors and short exerpts, but it is unclear to indentify the speaker.
