The Story of a Pink Alligator

Dear Dawn,

Sejak PS2 gw rusak, gw bertekad untuk stay away from gamin world, no matter how tempting it might be. But... yeah, I'm tempted again. Siapa lagi pelakunya kalau bukan Persona series?

Talking about Persona, there's this bittersweet fairy tale encased in the (minor) storyline. It's so bitter but full in thought that I decided to dedicate one blog post for it. So, children, ready for fairy tales?




"Once upon a time, lived a pink-colored alligator in a middle of a barren land. His pink coloration makes him hard to get something to eat. His prey can easily spot the pink alligator from afar. Soon, the alligator was both hungry and lonely."

"Then, one day, one small bird noticed the alligator and saddened by his loneliness. So, mustering his courage, he came and befriend the pink alligator. The alligator, amused by this, forgot his hunger and the two of them became friends."

"The alligator and the bird became two best friend ever on that barren land. They shared many things, always close together. But, one day the land was incredibly hot. Blinded by both hunger and thirst, the alligator accidentally ate the bird."

"When the alligator realized he ate his friend, there's no telling how sad he was. He was too driven with sadness and then he cried. He cried, cried, and cried. His tears were collected around him, forming small lake and attracted the animals. And then, the place became an oasis, green and alive."

"And that's the story of a pink alligator."

Disclaimer:
I did not own this story. It belonged to Atlus. And yes, I rewrite the story as the way I remembered. As for the picture (awesome, isn't it?), I took it from here.

Cheers!
