Prompt #128

Conclusion of last week's challenge: the Turks are prideful. Enough to take the trophy for their 10 points. The Turks and Avalanche just can't compete.

This week's prompt is #128 - Deadly Sin: Envy

Ah, envy! The coveting of the abilities, status, traits, situation or things of others - what a wicked deadly sin!

Is Genesis envious of Sephiroth's position? Does Cloud wish that he was everything he remembers Zack to be? Does Rufus, stuck in meetings all day, envy the freedom that other people have to come and go? Is money the thing that Reno envies about Shinra? Does Tifa envy Cloud's relationship with Aeris?

Envy: the characters have it! Tell us why in 100 words.

(pardon my lateness. I got blasted with the hella-headache yesterday afternoon and I just said screw it and turn my computer off for the night.)

Author's Notes: envy doesn't know a time or a place.

The way the sun heats your hair.  The way the rain chills your skin.  The smell of something delicious cooking.  Honest dirt under your fingernails.  A hard day’s work well done.   A place you made all your own.   A ride on the Highwind.  The places you’ve seen.  The chance to revisit them any time you want.  Pictures drawn by children with stumpy crayons and full hearts.  Faces of friends.   Hands that reach for you at the end of the day.  Finally having everything you want, everything you always wanted.  Laughing.  Crying. Living.  Dying.  From the Lifestream…  how I envy you.
