Today I spent pretty much all day with my mom. We went shopping all over Provo to try and find outfits for everyone for family photos and I may be bias, but our color scheme is awesome and we are all gonna look great. My dresses for my mission were finally finished today so we got to pick those up.
We ate dinner at this place called Tsunami and we just bought edamame, gyoza, and rice because we were both feeling gyoza but neither of us were feeling sushi. (Just so you know, the gyoza tastes better at Nori.) Then we saw The Labyrinth in theatres because it’s came back for three nights only and it’s my favorite movie of all time so OBVIOUSLY I bought tickets as soon as I heard about it. (We actually ended up sitting two seats down from the seats I’d bought specifically because they were smack dab in the middle. Some other people sat in our seats and my mom decided to let them stay there so by the time I’d walked in it was already decided.) I’m still just really happy though.
They had this story clip at the beginning (sorta like a pixar short but longer.) It was about this guy who owned a glass that, when he held it up to a person, he could see Death in. If Death was going to claim the soul, he would stay in the glass. If not, he would walk away. One day he finds out that the Tzar is dying. Death doesn’t leave the glass, so the guy tells Death to take him in exchange for the Tzar. We skip to the guy lying in a bed, looking through the glass and seeing Death looking back. He then pulls out a sack and manages to trap Death. He hides Death away and is at first a hero because now nobody can die. But the years go on and groups of old and weary souls gather outside his house, begging for him to free Death so that they may move on. Unable to bear seeing their pain, he takes the sack from where he hid it and opens it so that Death may return. He tells Death that he can now take his life to fulfill the exchange for the Tzar. But Death has become terrified of him and refuses to take him. He is condemned to a life full of watching others grow old and die but never being able to do so himself. After decades and decades he finds his way to Hell and begs them to take him, but upon seeing the sack they refuse. He tells them that he will not leave until they give him a map to heaven and two hundred souls to present at the pearly white gates. He finally gets there, and is still turned away despite his giving Heaven two hundred souls. In the end, the man still roams the Earth wishing for Death to come to him.
