-When your string is cut you can never fall in love with the same person again. You're done. Over. Finished.
-As soon as your strings cut it intertwines with someone who is also burdened with half a string. Your strings become whole again.
Seen with eyes as old as time and scissors almost as old, the keeper weaves through the strings he's burdened with seeing. He's quick. Just as visible as the strings, he can chose to be seen though, he's not burdened with loneliness, he does not hate his job.
He looks as old as a student yet within his eyes the years he holds are endless. He sees two people talking, their strings not more than a few feet apart, they're really close. There's no doubt they're in love. What poor saps the two of them are, they think they'll be together forever. The man looks down for a moment. As he looks down his eyes linger over to his scissors.He frowns.Wait, is that-guilt?
No, it couldn't be.
He quickly cuts the string and moves on with the rest of the world.
The strings gracefully fall to the ground, like autumn leaves.
Moving on he weaves through the strings, although he's able to walk through them like everyone else, he doesn't like touching them till he has to. So the strings stay peaceful, for now at least. The keeper takes out a wrinkled piece of paper, there lie the names he has to cut. The keeper never asked why he has to cut them, there was nobody to ask anyways. The crumbled up paper is about as old as he is and the names just appear then he cuts the strings, if he doesn't cut them though, he dies.
He learned the hard way long ago when he was supposes to cut a couple's, they just had a child. The keeper couldn't will himself to do it, they seemed so happy. But as the day's turned to weeks the keeper grew sick, it started off normal but he noticed a hole becoming to form, right over his heart. That's how he knew he was dieing. He might be the keeper but everyone still needed a heart.
Before the hole could get any bigger he rushed to the couple, they were feeding their child. The little thing had food smeared all over his face.The keeper took one look, something seemed to change within him.He smiled an evil smile and snapped the rope with his bear hands.
The baby started crying and the parents began to comfort their child,neither of them knowing what was going to become of them.
