The story behind the Grand Canyon

Everyday someone has a heartbreak, whether it's from a breakup, finding out your friend hates you, a pet or family member dying, everyone has one.

Every time someone has a heartbreak, our world breaks. Things happen, cracks appear in pavements, valleys form, caves too.

And in this story, you're gonna find out the heartbreak of the Grand Canyon.

His name was Clark, his life was perfect, even if he wasn't rich.

Clark had a girlfriend.

They'd been going out for years now, dates at least three times a week, they were the perfect couple.

One date night, Clark's girlfriend was acting strange, one word answers, very quiet the entire night.

She said her head hurt and Clark tried his best to comfort her and ended date night early.

When they returned home, she puked, sobbing as she heaved into the bowl of the toilet.

A couple weeks later, she was in the hospital in her dying breaths.

Clark sat next to her, tears in his eyes as she looked over.

Her lungs had been filling up with liquid for the past year, there was nothing they could do for her anymore.

She spoke, words straining her life force, "I have loved you for many years, now we must separate, know that I will always love you even if I am no longer with you."

The tears were a waterfall coming out of Clark's eyes as she saw the light fade out of her eyes, the monitor flatlined.

She was gone.

Clark's chest started burning, he fell out of his chair, clutching his chest.

He died of heartbreak as he saw the love of his life fade away.

Thus, leaving us with the Grand Canyon.
