The Most Depressing Story Ever

Little Match Girl. Very short. Very beautiful. Super depressing. It's considered a children's story but I don't know if children would get it. For those of you not able to read it or have not heard of it, it's about a little girl who's father beats her and sends her out on the street so sell matches. She's barefoot and shabbily clothed in the dead of winter. She doesn't want to go home because she hasn't sold any matches so she stays out. She lights a match and sees a turkey dinner in a well lit room on a table with food packed around it. She lights another and sees her grandmother who has been kind to her but passed on some time ago. She keeps lighting the matches to keep her grandmother there because she is being held and loved by her. Then people walk by in the morning and find the little match girl dead in the street with a box of burned matches by her side. That's it. The whole story is like two pages long and it's sad for the rest of eternity. I don't know why out of all the things I could have blogged about, I blogged about this one......
