here's a story for anyone to use, copy, modify, retell and share with others as long as i get credit somewhere in it.

I'll correct mistakes in it this later

In the darkest corners of her town resided aaryl. A once beautiful woman who's psyche was shattered when she was raped by a group of bandits. From that day forth she no longer stayed at the place she was born. Instead she became obsessed with living in the shadows for it was the comfortable reflection of her soul now enshrouded by her hate, vengefulness and shame. One day she had found her attackers and killed them and all who resided with them. she became overcome with emotional pains, satisfaction of revenge, and shame of having taken the life of other humans and her soul further darkened to an unholy pitch. she reasoned that everyone in the city must die for knowing these men who had raped her and over the next 3 days killed all the residents of the town including priests children and city patriarchs.

Finally when none were left she becames sensible and she had realized what she had done. she ran to the highest peak on the vicinity and called out to god.

My creator!, she yelled. I have done the most horrible things to my fellow man. But for allowing me my vengeance i am most grateful, for your generosity is most beautiful. I am ready to die so strike me down.

The sky opened and god appeared with many stars swirling about him. Aaryl floated high to God's right hand, while the angels hummed a heavenly tune.

God had been watching aaryl all her life. The bandits had always been destined to have their wicked souls destroyed by one of their victims. However in doing so aaryl's soul became defiled.

Though her soul was tainted, god still loved her so.

God spoke, my beloved child for your crimes against my children you will be bound the the earth for 1000 years you will never die until your body naturally returns to the earth. No poison will hurt you and no mortal wound will take your soul. Though your body may lose function, your mind will never cease. I Will be with you my child.

The sky closed and aaryl stood once again alone at the peak.

Her body felt numb. she quickly ran down the peak losing control. She tripped and fell into a thorny plant and was covered with many needles. Much to her surprise she felt no pain. She pondered for a moment but decided to rest for the night. And there she fell asleep. The next morning she awoke to her surprise, realized she no longer could move her limbs for infection had spread while she slept and rendered her limbs useless. For days she bore witness to the decay of her flesh. Though without pain, it frightened and angered her and she forsake god's name as she suddenly realized the extent of the curse god had put over her. Many days passed and she deteriorated even further, bearing witness to the intricate ways life works. As she decayed her body became the ground and the ground gave life to the earth and her life became sustanance for the plants and trees which then became the energy for the animals and humans. and always she stayed watching. she began to see the beauty of the life her body created and god's fantastically simple blueprint of life. Particles become elements. elements become molecules. Molecules become dna. Dna become cells. Cells become tissues. Tissues become organs. Organs become a body and when a body dies everything returns to elements. She realized that god's genorosity was not most beautiful when compared to the beautiful way in which god's structure of life worked. With this she praised god for his beautifully structured world and her soul became purified. With her soul purified, god once again parted the sky and her soul rose up to his right hand. Aaryl, my child, here you have stayed for a thousand years and witnessed my work and have been purified once again. You may now join me in the kingdom of heaven where you shall sit with me in my home and be forever joyous. As god and arryl departed, the sky closed and she became saintly.
