The Pinnacle Of Life

Looking at Hayley’s distinct and dynamic eyes that were filled with innocence and playfulness, Edgar seemed to have returned to
that innocent, youthful era.
Edgar
Alex
She walked up to him while wearing a skirt and flinging her ponytail. And he liked to follow behind her and watch her fluttering
hair. He would occasionally glance at her budding waist and butt but was already displaying a woman’s charm. Sometimes, he
would fantasize about going to the same university together, becoming close to her to the point of being inseparable. He liked
watching her irritated and pouting look. He liked hearing her gentle reprimand.
“Hey... Did you stay up all night playing games again last night?”
“Your eyes look like a panda’s. They are so ugly. This eye cream doesn’t suit me. Help me use it up!”
“George, I don’t know who dropped this bouquet here. Help me throw it away. Doesn’t that person know I’m allergic to flowers?”
George,
Alex,
Thinking about it, his eyes were red-rimmed.
“Hey! George, you jerk If you don’t pay attention to the lesson, you can only attend a diploma mill and get a job that doesn’t pay
much after graduation.”
George,
Alex,
“George, you jerk. Help me up...”
George,
Alex,
“Hey. I’m calling out to you, yet you pretend to be deaf...”

“Edgar Rockefeller, you blockhead...”
Edgar
Alex
‘Huh? Weren’t they memories? Oh, it’s real. Hayley Hanson is really calling out to me...’
“Oh, oh. Hayley, I’ll pull you up right away!” George, who had come to realize, saw Hayley stretching out her fair, beautiful hands
in the coffin. He carefully grabbed her and gently pulled her up.
George,
Alex,
She still looked like that maiden in the dusk. She was still bright-eyed.
“Long time no see!”
“Long time... No see!”
“Heh. You’ve grown so tall! You still look so ugly with your crying face!” Hayley compared their heights. Edgar was now a head
taller than her.
Edgar
Alex
“Give me a hand!”
She stepped out of the coffin while holding Edgar’s hand. After looking around, she said, “Let’s leave this place first. I don’t like
this place.”
Edgar
Alex
“Alright!”

They left the blood pool.
Looking at her, Edgar asked, “Don’t you find it strange? Do you have no questions to ask me?”
Edgar
Alex
Hayley lowered her head and lightly kicked her as she put her hands behind her. “I knew... I knew everything...”
Edgar was shocked. “You... knew?”
Edgar
Alex
She gently nodded. “Yeah! Although I was lying in the coffin, I could hear it.”
She kicked and discovered that her shoes were broken and decayed. Her body was the same as it was decades ago. She was
still youthful. However, her shoes and clothes could not be preserved for long after decades. Even her clothes were torn after a
light tug. She seemed to be a little surprised.
Edgar hurriedly took out a brand new skirt, undergarments, and even leather shoes from the ring.
Edgar
Alex
She lifted her head. “Do they belong to your wife?”
Edgar shook his head. “They belong to my daughter. She has never worn them before.”
Edgar
Alex
Hayley had a frozen expression on her face, but she quickly smiled. “Good. They are lovely. Do you have black pantyhose?
Didn’t you like it best when I wore black pantyhose?”

“W-when did I..?”
“You’re still in denial? As soon as I wore black pantyhose, you went behind me and took pictures secretly. Did you think I didn’t
know? Did you do that?”
“Yes... Yes!”
Hayley took the black pantyhose with a smile. “Turn your back and don’t peek.”
Edgar turned around, then said, “I’ll wait for you outside!”
Edgar
Alex
“No!” She suddenly screamed, “Don’t go! I’m scared! I’m afraid that I won’t see you!”
Edgar suddenly stopped in his tracks. He nodded vigorously. “Alright. I won’t leave.”
Edgar
Alex
The voice trembled lightly. Then, the rustling sound of changing clothes was heard behind him.
Edgar just stood there without the intention to peek in the slightest. He just felt sore in his nose and was overwhelmed.
Edgar
Alex
“It’s done! You can turn around!”
Wearing a beige skirt, she was young and pretty. Her hair was tied into a high ponytail with a bow. Her skirt only reached the
middle of her thighs, and her slender, beautiful legs were covered with black pantyhose. She was slim with a bit of youthfulness
and sexiness. She then playfully spun around in place with her white leather shoes.
Just like decades ago, after they walked out of the high school gate, she got on Edgar’s bicycle and jabbered in his ear.

Edgar
Alex
“Do I look good?”
