Death of a smile

Once upon a time , there lived a smile . It was neither cute nor captivating. Nor would you notice
it, if you happen to pass by. The only significant thing about it was that it existed. Right behind
the eyes, under the layer of practical-social facial skin, it lay hidden. With a child-like carelessness, it rested.
One day , out of the blue - it died. It was hit and it died. It was hit by many a forces- external
forces, but it survived . This time the attack was internal. It got close, it connected and it struck.
And without telling anyone the smile decided to live no more . Nobody noticed, nobody cared
and there was no carcass to be seen.
