"oppresses man as to draw him away entirely from good deeds"

 - Thomas Aquinas-


In the small town of Wenzhou, China, nothing was moving. There were no cars on the streets neither local buses. All of the stores were closed, even the ones that provided food, such as restaurants, supermarkets, or coffee shops. People wouldn't move out of their homes to work but the worst part of it was that even schools, hospitals, and other important departments like that, weren't providing their services as they were supposed to. Yet, no one seemed to notice or to care doing something about it, as they were too lazy to do so.



Winwin was slowly walking in the aisles of an empty private clinic checking if everyone wasn't doing their job. Doctors and nurses hadn't had stepped foot into the clinic for days, some of the patients had found the opportunity to run away while others who had serious physical and mental problems, hadn't had anyone to help them or provide them with their pills and that's why many of them were close to death. Of course, no one was thinking about them. Employees, family members, strangers, were all absent. They had lost their interest. People knew that being this shiftless and unwilling of doing your work or help your fellow human beings, was wrong, but still, they wouldn't change it. 



The boy with the dark short brown hair was giggling while watching the people inside the clinic slowly fading away because of the sin others were falling to. That was the fun part. The weakest were always the ones to hurt most. Humans could be so selfish creatures. Not caring about the emotions of others. Not dealing with the problems of others, until one day they are the ones with the obstacles and then they realize that one would be around to comfort them. That moment they scream about justice and how unfair the world is. Only when they need something that they weren't willing to share either. 



"And they call us, bad." Winwin murmured to himself, replying to his own thoughts. In every room he passed by the sick people in there were completely unaided. Even little kids were left alone in their misery. But then, Winwin checked the last room only to see a nurse with long light brown hair, trying to feed an elderly woman. Immediately he stopped. She was holding her very protectively and an easy smile was rested on her face. Winwin felt captivated. The girl seemed as if she was from another world. Beautiful, kind... Unconsciously he held his sapphire necklace as if it would help him wake from the magic he was drawn into. 



He stood there staring at her until the girl noticed and turned her eyes on him. Once she saw him, she waved happily. Winwin kept on standing there expressionless. How could a person make him feel so paralyzed? Why wasn't she slacking somewhere? How could she work when he was around? Many questions were on his mind but on the outside, he was completely numb. She started approaching him. Winwin felt nervous but didn't move. The girl reached him and her eyes were bright hazel in color, dreamy. "Doing things for others always makes me feel whole. What about you?" she asked him.



It took some time for Winwin to find his self-control but in the end, he shrugged and crossed his thin arms, "I don't feel like helping others. Or doing anything." he said monotonously. He couldn't understand how she was able to resist the laziness. "Oh, I see. Then should I help you with that?" with that she walked closer to him. Winwin didn't move an inch. He just wanted to stay there and let her come to him. "How are you planning on doing that...?" he asked with a mischievous grin and his eyes fell on the small label on her robe, Tian Shi was written, "Tian Shi?" he also added. 



Tian Shi smirked and put her hands on his shoulders. Winwin suddenly felt helpless under her touch. Her thumbs touched the side of his neck making him shiver. How was that possible? For a human to be that powerful... Tian Shi closed the distance between them so much, that Winwin could practically see the different shades of green and brown in her eyes. His hands fall to his sides. He didn't have the power either the will on doing literally anything. Neither to speak... He was just imagining how their kiss would be...


And that kiss came quickly. She placed her soft, pink lips on his. Winwin closed his eyes and let her take control. He opened his mouth giving access to her tongue on his mouth. The kiss was slow yet passionate. He was feeling his heart beating a little faster. A sense of danger deluged but he was too unconcerned to run away from it. He wouldn't bother. He didn't want to bother. He just wanted this slow kiss to continue. The sensation grew more when she placed her hands around his neck and lock it inside them hard, leaving him no room to breathe.



But then, a weird hiss was heard. Confused, Winwin opened his eyes and saw many snakes around him. Tian Shi broke the kiss and dragged away his bear necklace while the snakes were climbing on him from his legs and his hands. Winwin's hands started trampling as fear came over him. He wanted to scream but his voice was lost in his mouth, complete terror was covering him. "They are not friendly, right?" Tian Shi murmured and Winwin placed his eyes on her for a moment. Her eyes were bright yellow and wings were spreading around her. He passed out in shock when Tian Shi disappeared.
