Nothing Gold Can Stay Meaning Novels & Stories

Nuella asks in surprise. “Well, I met someone who said his ex-girlfriend broke up with him because she got gold as a present from him, which she didn't like. She said gold has a way of reminding her of her past trauma. She hated the fact he bought her gold, and they never got back together.” He explained to Nuella.

"I didn't know what that meant...and you're one of the only real honest good things I have in my life. I can't lose you..." Honest. Whitney cringed internally. "I'm sorry....I wasn't trying to leave you, Holly. I'll never leave you." She gasped in between breaths, feeling the guilt eat her alive as Hollis's fingers toyed with her scalp the way that always made her melt.

Shaun bit the bullet and answered honestly. “I don’t like diamond earrings.” Catherine threw the box over. “I like gold. Diamonds are just polished stones, and they’re very common. It’s very sought after because some women say that diamonds represent love and loyalty. Ha! Love can’t be proven by something like that. Thinking about it, gold is still worth more. It can be exchanged globally, and it rises in value. Like what women often say, between men and money, money is more reliable.” Shaun was speechless.

he said with a smile while staring at me. I felt like I was going to melt in his stares so I just avoided it. I turned my eyes to the many gold around us. "So much gold," I said in amazement. "That's normal, Crema. Those golds are just decorations," he replied with a smile. "Decoration?!" I asked in disbelief. "Why do you seem surprised?" he asked curiously. "Uhmm, Nothing," I lied. I never thought that gold was just normal to them and they just made it a decoration. Meanwhile in the world of humans it is a treasure that can't be easily equaled. Maybe if I bring it to the world of humans I will become an instant Billionaire.

They weren't just fighting an army; they were fighting a "Format." "The Liquid Gold is the Architects' lifeblood!" Maya shouted through the bond, her voice a fragile vibration. She was riding on the back of the liquid metal creature, her fingers still clutching a tablet that was now nothing more than a shard of violet crystal. "If the Eye fires its final beam, the gold will be 'Re-distributed' into the audience. They will forget the North, and we will become 'Ghost Data' in a dead system!"

"You're wearing my clothes. You're eating my food. You're wearing my gold." ​ ​

This — this hollow emptiness, this silence that screamed, this ache that sat in his bones, this was what he had earned. Not punishment from God. Not some cruel twist of fate. But the natural, inevitable consequence of treating something priceless like it was replaceable. He had traded gold for glitter. And when the shine faded… there was nothing left but dust. Christian sat back down at the edge of the windowpane, staring out as the clouds cracked open and a golden light poured through the storm. It was almost poetic — the universe saying: “You still have breath, but you must carry the weight of what you’ve done.”

“You feel it too.” It wasn’t a question. “It doesn’t mean anything.” “It means something,” he murmured. “You just don’t want it to. Or maybe you’re scared of what it means.” “And you’re not?” “I am. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to let it stop me from figuring out what it is.” This time around, I was the one who turned away, grabbing a random book off the shelf just so I can keep my hands busy. “I heard people talking. They think Gold’s death was a warning.”

"I can't! I'm super excited right now, my heart feels like it's about to burst out of my chest, I'm going to die..." Diana sighed, "So how can you feel better?" "Only if you join my esports club." "Well then, you can go to hell." Frank muttered, "Damn, so heartless!" Diana didn't pay him any more attention. She was still caught up in the sadness of John finding out about her shameful thoughts. Leah, behind her, held the gold trophy, weighing it in her hand. "This thing must weigh like two or three pounds, and the price of gold has been going up lately. Wonder how much we could sell it for..."

“That is the question? Not the graves. Not the photograph. The gold. What are you, a goblin? Or a dragon sitting on a pile?” He grabbed the front of my shirt with his good hand, knuckles white. “That gold is mine. I earned it. You do not touch it.” The intensity of it was almost more unsettling than the photo. Greed I understood. This was something else. Need with venom. “Are you broke?” I could not keep the disgust entirely out of my voice. “Do not tell me the eldest son of this circus is circling bankruptcy. You are talking about that metal like it is your oxygen.”
