The Cover

"This cover is fantastic, the art and beauty behind such a masterpiece of literature is astounding, to think that someone put in so much effort and imagination into this breathtaking piece of work. I don't think I've ever seen something so magnificently well done, do you see how he created the figure into it right here? Just astonishing." Chelsea says with amazement.

"Yeah it's something alright-" Jake angrily exclaims.

"It's nearly undefinable." 

"-Yeah, but what do you think of mine?"

"You're cover?"

"Yes, did you like how I put it together?" Jake then pulls his cover out. A crudely drawn sunrise with tall trees and cool waves from a beach coming in to greet you as the morning rises. 

"Well... It's a start, it doesn't pop nearly as much as that God like masterpiece over there... but it's ok."

"Oh. Well did you see what was inside his cover?" 

"No No, that's not important; that cover-" 

"Well just take a quick look, It may surprise you." He says with a annoyed look.
"Well you're rose inside your cover was fabulous, I don't see why I have to... Oh."

"Oh?"  He yells sarcastically. 

As she looked inside the cover, all she saw was a small dull ridged piece of coal.

"Well... That's very disappointing" She says with a frown. 

With a laugh Jake says "His exterior beauty can only cover up so many lies. Bye."

Jake then walks away leaving her with a beautiful cover rapped around a dirty piece of coal. After a few minutes she already begins missing his rose, and runs after him. She drops the cover on the ground, destroying some of the beauty she claimed she loved so deeply only a few minutes ago. A piece of the coal is noticed from the top of the cover, and everyone that passes by notices the clear beauty, but also notices the clear wrongness. Everyone avoids it.

In a perfect world. Only In a perfect world.
