Literature Text
She smiled a sad smile in the dark that only the trees saw
Her hands limp at her side
She fell to her knees as her legs gave way
Looking desperately to the pitch sky
Her short brown hair flipped back
Flinging and catching stray specks of snow
No stars in sight, only the moonlight
Her glowing brown eyes shined
She cried, not tears of rage or tears of sadness
But, tears of joy and tears of madness
She was still there half frozen to death
When he saw her
He ran
His heart racing
Threatening to burst from his chest to get to her first
He left forgotten foot prints in the snow
Next to hers
She did not hear his approach
Nor did she feel the warm coat that was placed on her shoulders
Or the comforting smell of his scent
He felt deep in his heart
Her life was draining
Her breath was waning
He had to do something
He let out a cough
Searching for days
He dropped to his knees in front of her
He knew what was wrong
It finally happened
A silent tear dropped from his eye
Her mind was lost
He gathered her in his arms
But, the wind tumbled them over
He tried to get up
Fight through the pain
He held her hand tight
Snow cold on her back
Her glassy eyes cleared in realization
Nose to nose
They each blinked
She nuzzled her head into his chest
He held tight
Because they both knew
That they would soon die
Her hands limp at her side
She fell to her knees as her legs gave way
Looking desperately to the pitch sky
Her short brown hair flipped back
Flinging and catching stray specks of snow
No stars in sight, only the moonlight
Her glowing brown eyes shined
She cried, not tears of rage or tears of sadness
But, tears of joy and tears of madness
She was still there half frozen to death
When he saw her
He ran
His heart racing
Threatening to burst from his chest to get to her first
He left forgotten foot prints in the snow
Next to hers
She did not hear his approach
Nor did she feel the warm coat that was placed on her shoulders
Or the comforting smell of his scent
He felt deep in his heart
Her life was draining
Her breath was waning

Searching for days
He dropped to his knees in front of her
He knew what was wrong

A silent tear dropped from his eye
Her mind was lost
He gathered her in his arms
But, the wind tumbled them over
He tried to get up
Fight through the pain
He held her hand tight
Snow cold on her back
Her glassy eyes cleared in realization
Nose to nose
They each blinked
She nuzzled her head into his chest
He held tight
Because they both knew
That they would soon die
I don't know what to say.
It's sad...but to me it's a happy ending...

I liked it, although I find the over-description of the girl to be unecessary;
"Short brown hair, glowing brown eyes." It's just a tad distracting, and with the short length of the story, no background info, (Which is OK) you really don't need to give any description of her, and if you must, you have to do it subtly, so that it fits with the flow of the story. ^^ Good plot, though.
