There was a happy little girl in a happy little town, when suddenly, she became very very sad. Everything around her was sad. The once happy little town sagged under the weight of her sadness. It began to snow. Buildings, cars, cookie-cutter housing blocks...nothing escaped the blanket of white. The snow softly and gently crushed any dreams that were ever dreamed by anyone anywhere in town. The little girl's tears froze to her cheeks. She tried to cry out, but it was muffled. All was silent. Until...just as the little girl was giving up her last shred of hope, a ray of silver light parted the clouds above. It shone on her face and melted the frozen tears. More and more strands of light broke through the sky and warmed the white little town. The snow thawed. Rivers of melted ice raced down the streets and washed away the sadness. The happy little town once again became the happy little town of everyone's dreams. She basked in the sunlight and it let it fill up the empty void inside her hollowed out by the sadness. Unfortunately, it was too late. No amount of happiness, light or dreams would ever be enough to fulfill the little girl, so she became an alcoholic and spent the rest of her days in an ironic happy half-life marked by misuse of harmful substances and distrust for society. It was here that she realized it had been sad all along.
The end.
Or is it...
