<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">the racing wild,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">that moves within,</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">One where the wildfire crackles,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">the sun blazes on the dead grass,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">and the plankton drift aimless,</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">while the blue sheet shines overhead.</span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">and the owls swoop down for prey,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">but the tandem of the wildlife,</span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">but there are trees that give shelter,</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">There are fires,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">there are places in which creatures can go,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">in order to escape the sun's heat.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">They all give life to each other,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">and when the eagle eats the fish it knows . . . </span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">that the fish could not survive without the brutal kill,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">the plankton could not survive without the heat,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">which provide dry spells.</span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It is a syndrome of pale blue beauty,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">of fires that cause the mammals to run,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">and yet . . . in spite of the planet's splendor,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">it seems that life is brutal to its counterpart,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">yet without the death, fatal weather, </span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">there would be no syndrome,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>of blue beauty,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">for even though it is a syndrome,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">the Earth is infinitely beautiful.</span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>You cannot drive very far in a rural town because of the fact that there are no actual houses. Therefore, as much as you <nobr><a class="FAtxtL" href="http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Foxemerald/1264720/#" id="FALINK_2_0_1">continue</a></nobr> to drive, the town will always appear to look much the same. The remnants of what are deemed to be houses are actually rags of clothing which are revered due to their masterfully patterned, brown <nobr><a class="FAtxtL" href="http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Foxemerald/1264720/#" id="FALINK_1_0_0">dresses</a></nobr>. The houses are flowing in the wind with the most languid ease, because their long clothing is easily swept up by the air, and this makes the patterned calicos creak delightfully. These houses wear a wide range of brown to black coloring which is so spectral that they have the innate grace of the taste of a grandmother, who once understood the grace of impeccable clothing- riddled with holes, cuts, and bruises in the most natural, elegant textiles- and best of all, no one bothers them, because they are now provide such a vast impression.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

They are so highly respected that, entrepreunuers run wildly, and flee the city before ever creating more than one <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Save-A-Lot.</i> They are so highly esteemed that, in short, no one would ever dare step foot within fify miles of them. And, best of all, because they give the majority of their time to the cows, the <nobr><a class="FAtxtL" href="http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Foxemerald/1264720/#" id="FALINK_3_0_2">animals</a></nobr> benefit from them by living within the fruitful grazing and constant sunlight. These contented animals languidly roll within the long, steadily rising tendrils of blue, smoky plants all day, while gazing up<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>at their black counterparts, as though they have become comforting mothers to embrace. Thus, with the endless miles of rural imagery, you will always see the same image, and it will be more delightful than you would ever have dreamed, because, who wouldn't want to go where the cows graze?</span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07909811590822047203noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865880584701918062.post-81928499709394043622013-11-12T13:08:00.002-08:002013-11-12T13:08:50.096-08:00Agonizing Love- Poetry <span style="font-family: "Monotype Corsiva"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: x-small;"><strong><em>Note: Is it always so difficult to love someone who has an uncertain past?

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Sensitive and graceful curvature,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Behind those dark lips,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A soft, enigmatic phrase,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That was upon his kiss,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Never seeking me out, and dying,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Beneath the soft pale features,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That starkly showed a contrast,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">To the flames that spurred the devil-</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Who had <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">grasped</i> him,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Tucked him within its clutches,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Sought him out, regaled him with bright touches,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That enamored the word, the art, the whole, the beautified,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Glory-path,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Bright pendant within the moon’s light- </span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And then the pale, sodden, wet tongue suddenly turned black,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The evil art of his own figurine body,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Yet a casted, a dancing ballerina-</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In bashful loving . . . </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A shard,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Of heavy glass,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Yet, one that trickled down from a sun-flecked window,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Glancing at me in the sunlight,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Through his tamed, empathetic, red-rimmed eyes . . .</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That dark intertwined with the silver,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And that beautiful prose,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Who made him what he could only be-</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A creative talent whisking,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Against the woods in a midsummer night’s dream,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Black as the ace of spades yet so white, so endearingly <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">luscious,</i></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A porcelain set upon my dresser,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And now I can only think-</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That something has taken away,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The devil inside,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Yet his tongue is still two colors,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As I barely brush against his soul,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Alight with shuddering, forcefully teased pleasure,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Trembling spurted physical and spiritual strength,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And the enigmatic force,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That this person holds for me-</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And the phrase is loosened,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As I finally hear him speak,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As together we chat,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In a passion,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Which never needs an ear,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">For,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We never have need of talking. . . <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And what we never saw . . . </span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Is crying in deep red blood,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Yet, while the shining, glittering tear rolls down the woman’s face,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I caress it carefully,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And my finger-</span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Yet my heart is wrenching, jerking in a cantankerous way that,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I would never be able to comprehend, if,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I was unable to rest my hand,</span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And something begins at that moment to cry in my own breast,</span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Spiraling towards a dab of a hardened blotch,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That has crusted up and dried,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">On my hand . . . </span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I open my palm gently,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And the vision of a tear-like drop, of blood,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Has fallen there to rest . . . </span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I look up at the midnight blue stars,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And feel my heart swell,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As I lay down to rest,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In the cold, dampened meadow . . . </span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Never really understanding,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">How her tears turned into blood-</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And I keep sobbing,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">My hair, finally cascading in a gentle arc-</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Around my shoulders,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And finally, finally- I lay her down,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And cover her up with a blanket,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">While truth pumps through my own veins,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Pumping, coursing-</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Now I see everything so clearly . . . </span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If only she had told me-</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If only I had known, the truth . . . </span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I breathe a deep sigh to myself,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And lay down to rest, beside her . . . </span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Of a man without a purpose-</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Bared to every single man and woman,</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Lapping along the skin,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Of the dark, weary man, unloading his burdens,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">By finding a place of trust,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Within his own position,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Of bondage through those that,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Cut and siphon his blood,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Through their perilous knives,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Ropes of lapping tongues,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">For once again he will,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Be completely trusted,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">After he’s given his respect,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Of those sordid . . .</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Ropes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Shadows that could never be lightened,</span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Tempestuous raging,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">An aura of madness, in the middle,</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That gripped the bones and made our movements-</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Had blinded us,</span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Our raucous, ravenous, aching, sordid pride-</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Followed us to the ends of the earth,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Where we fought for something we could not name,</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A bowl of misery, was claimed,</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">For us,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Poor, sad, droop-eyed animals,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That no one could ever have foreseen-</span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Us,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It was all over then,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Because . . . </span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This we could no longer see.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The reasons were a burning hole,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In our chest,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Now ravaged to ashes-</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Us, us,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We cried out,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And no one could hear us,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As we threw our jagged swords,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Our rough-hewn movements,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Without purpose,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Against each other,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So that,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In the end,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We were really no more than,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A beastly venom,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That had poisoned the other side,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Of the North and South,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">For to see the destruction,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Of the dead to the bone soldiers,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">No one had one,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We were just . . . </span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Hanging onto our pride,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The bloodshed,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Burned,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Like the cause of our sworn dignity-</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">But it was not so well-standing, now . . . </span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We were just- broken iterations,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Mimics of life,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">No more human,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Than the strange,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">But highly priced language,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That makes this piece of work,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Something worthy.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Yet, what does it mean really?</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Not much.</span></div>

<strong><em>(the story of a demonic cat that tries to take over the world with evil. Set in the era of the 1920s)</em></strong><br />
<strong><em></em></strong><br />
<br />
<i><b>Part 1 Installment-</b></i><br />
<strong><em></em></strong><br />
<br />
There was a great evil that blanketed planet Earth which no one could truly understand. It crept between the doors in the refrigerators when one opened them, and through the cracks when they were closed in order to meander throughout houses in enormous spectacles of a glittering, black, art which could never be seen- so claw-like was the quality of the masses that stuck to the fold of the ceiling, gripped the walls as oozing goo that shined and those seeping globs of straight-up, black sheaths that tickled the curtains with groping, itching fingers- that it clung like leeches over all objects in the home. The worst part about the evil substance, though, was that it could never be seen, and, although the inhabitants of each house in which it co-existed felt its presence, not a soul knew from whence it came, for it simply swayed within the house curtains unyielding, dripping onto the faces of married couples when they kissed, snug and warm beneath their sheets- it fell from the tops of fans when they were switched to 'on,' so that it could fly about the room in the air, happily unnoticed- for the evil thrived, wherever it could make one miserable- and where it existed, that is where . . . it most often existed . . .<br />
<br />
Over the world this blackness was siphoned through an invisible tunnel which no one had the ability to discern, for not ever the most meticulous scientist would have had the ability to use any of his prodigious gadgets to depict its particular place within the ozone layer- the reason for this was quite simple, in fact it could not have been plainer, because, how plain is nonexistence? The fact is, harsh as it is to say to the critics of this world who live their own, self-satisfied and happily egotistical lives, who fervently seek after their own interests and think that they are the center of everything, that, in complete honesty such mythological things exist as magic. And such it remains in the case of the black cat known as Lucifer, who actually controls everything, and is in actuality, the center of everything in life. Lucifer, who rules over all that is underneath the sun, anything that is a part of what, in the scheme of the busy world as we know it, dwells in and around us. In an around us, meandering between the door of our cabinets and our dressers, underneath the fold of blankets upon our beds, is the evil which is owned by the cat Lucifer.<br />
<br />
Lucifer was not always a demonic Socialitiera, or what is basically known as someone who is highly controlling, and in fact, he once had gathered unto himself the attentions of various rulers from other worlds, those which we do not know of, but suffice it to say that not everything good lasts forever . . . although a fair ruler this cat became rather bored by his truly mundane duties, and he wanted for diversity. Now, I am not speaking of the diversity of races or creeds or ethnicity, but that which is rather similar, in some strange but creative manner, to Lascivious, or two forces that always work within a tandem. Although most people are not graced by this knowledge, Lascivious was actually a part of Lucifer's life in one of the most fascinating ways imaginable. The rulers of several different universes were poignantly marked by the balance of Lascivious because good and evil bounced back and forth between all of them. The other rulers always left out poor Lucifer when they shared their powers with one another, but he was a very mellow black animal, and everyone just as well assumed that he was content simply to have the strength of goodness. Therefore they kept their own powers and strengths to themselves. The most prominent of these- was of course Lascivious.<br />
<br />
Lucifer decided one day that he wanted to steal Lascivious and add evil to his own world like the others, so when the power of evil flew throughout the universe on its way to an unknown destination, he decided that he would steal the power of evil so that he, too, could create the balance. It was the 1920s on planet Earth at the time this happened, so the world was enwrapped by these strange things called fads, and woman were beginning to assert their independence more and more. When evil struck the flux of society then, most people did not immediately feel the effects of its presence. While they traveled to work, took care of the children, and kissed their spouses goodbye, the force of Lucifer's evil, which had created a magical seesaw over everything, remained unseen. Lucifer himself was the only one who was privy to the golden creation which he had himself been able to generate. It hung in an unknown destination that no researcher or scientist could ever identify. The ethereal being prided himself upon the fact that none of the other controllers of the various life planets had noticed what he had done. And, as he sat curled up in front of an unseen fireplace, from an unknown space in time, he looked down upon the effects with interest.<br />
<br />
Now Lucifer was a strange piece in the word called existence, for he was magical. He wasn't anything like any other living organism which one could depict. He was a cat with a penchant for black tea, and nearly burnt toast in the morning. One who met Lucifer might think that he was quite ordinary in fact- but, there was something strange about him. Something different. Like the screw in a machine which had fallen. Lucifer was nothing like your typical, ordinary house-cat. He was unique in his desires and his interest. He also had a few friends from planet Earth with whom he interacted.<br />
The first of these was a white hound dog known as Sparkscretentia, who was as well a magical being. The second was a large, mostly green macaw who was known under the name of 'Creolish,' although everyone called her 'Glisten.' The last of his friends, with whom he often interacted, was a large tiger looking cat who was commonly known as 'Jasper.'<br />
<br />
Many times, during the afternoon, when Lucius was in need of company, he would speak to his friends through the line of a magical telephone that was hung upon a star in the black space around him and call them to his living arrangement for a spot of tea. His friends thought that the black tea that he made was delicious. During this frame of time, in which they would engage in decent chatter, for good talk was found rarely in these times of nefarious evil, they would watch with interest the new developments taking place upon planet Earth. Lucifer himself was quite satisfied by the excellent progress that he had generated.<br />
<br />
"Look," he said, leaning over from his place in his favorite armchair. "That woman just lost her job to another man again. Is the pink skirt the reason that she was terminated?" He and his friends then had an animated discussion about all of the potential reasons. On another day, a man that was wearing all blue was walking around with a large sign fastened to a long stick. His friend Jasper wanted to know how common it was to see this.<br />
<br />
"Quite common, I think," Lucifer answered him.<br />
<br />
"Why is he dressed in blue?" asked the macaw, Glisten.<br />
<br />
"I think he prefers it," said Lucifer contemplatively. "Ever since I sent the force of evil down to planet Earth everyone has been acting bizarrely."<br />
<br />
"I think it is remarkable," said Jasper.<br />
<br />
"Quite fascinating," added the dog, Sparkscretentia.<br />
<br />
And so, in like manner the three friends continued to applaud Lucifer's efforts. While time progressed, the strangest changes which the feline of this bizarre Socialitiera could not have in his wildest dreams imagined, started to occur. The four friends sat patiently waiting, avidly enjoying the evil which they had wrought. And people went about their lives, completely oblivious to the demonic cat controlling them, seemingly content on the outside, yet never knowing, never wondering about the other presence in their homes- which was slowly taking over their lives.<br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Cats that know,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">what it is in pumpkins,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">for my Jasper took,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">the wick that was in mine,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">tore it to shreds, blow,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">by blow,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">by blow,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">until, with a puff, a whiff,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">the flick-flick,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">died,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">just to show me,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">that music trembling through me,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">of eerie insecure goblin mannerisms,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">who swept beneath the shutters,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">of the old house,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">died,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">because they cleaned too much,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">and goblins are not supposed to clean.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">There was no one around,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">that Halloween night,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">and the ghosts, the ghouls, and the deadened specters,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">had no one to frighten away from-</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">their long, curling flaking nails.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I thought I saw,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">a ghost sweep past,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">with a broom, to sweep literally!</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Odd that it could hold a broom,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">with pumpkin-fastings,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">as I watched the old skeletons,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">stare with eyes that drooped,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">over long flapping tongues,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">at the pumpkins . . .</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">jack-o-lanterns.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That is what they are called.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I gleaned the name,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">from my cat Jasper,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">who-</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">regally blew out the wick,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">tore the flames to pieces as the wind blew it,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">over the trees and through the woods . . .</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">finally, back into the old haunted,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">dilapidated, cruel building,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">that had burned down,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">years ago now,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">by the flame from a-</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">jack-o-lantern.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A jack-o-lantern!</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That is what blew down this house.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Now, it is the site of pumpkin-fasting, and black cats with ominous senses . . .</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">who understand the spirit of the old house.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Jasper,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">keeps going back to that wick,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">as though he knows,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">the house's history,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">and the ghosts of the old place,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">wait . . .</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">and wait . . .</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">until they can feast on those pumpkins.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Tonight has become my own Halloween,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">in which Jasper has created for the ghouls a treat,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">not one with treat bags,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">but a feast,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">for after midnight,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">the ghouls eat the pumpkins,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">and the jack-o-lanterns,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">that we pretend to have named,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">become automatic pies for all of us.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This house is special.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">For it gives back a little,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">of what they once lost,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">as the goblins and the ghosts look forward,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">to our own,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">self-made Halloween . . .</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">in this house of haunted creative fancy-</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">of dreams.</span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">You were wearing a bracelet,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And I didn’t know its truth,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">For all of those glitters,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The sparkles and the shine,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">You see were in my mind,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">But I couldn’t see them,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Upon that pretty wrist.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The blue jewels, deeply,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Mellowing, soft, adorning,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Your wrist had spoken,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Like a thief in stoic night,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Who wanted a bit, of something,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That we didn’t know.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">They sparkled like packs,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Of handsome men that,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Were lowly pilfering thieves,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Because they robbed you.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">You shook your wrist, jingle,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Beautiful, lovely jewels,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Of blue that gazed serenely,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Out.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">At the door,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When they fell gracefully, thump,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">On the ground of suave carp-</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And then we smiled,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Held by their charm,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Until they blackened before us.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">They robbed you of- something,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Like the thief I imagined,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Like dozens of thieves that came,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In the night when you were asleep,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">At a midnight blue picture,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That billowed around your cradled head,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Before we saw what glittered.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It was a simple memory.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">You had dreamt it all,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The glittering jewelry still rested,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Upon your wrist,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Lovely blue that I so loved,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And the imagined thieves had left us.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Your green eyes opened,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Fazed by midnight lusting,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That blanketed your dwelling,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">With stars.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And then you wished back,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That time you long ago had,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Before bowing,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In a silent song of godly strength,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Thanking him for the imagined thieves,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Sordid dreams,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Stolen jewelry,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That took you knew not what,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Praising the fact that what was taken,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Was never found,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The bracelet bobbing,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In the misty eyes of sleep,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Only in sleep,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Was not,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And no omens portended,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Any losses.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">There wasn’t loss-</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Not lost save for in dreams Saunie.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Because while you perpetually stargaze,</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Manor White<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>She opened her eyes to a beautiful sight, within mere moments after closing them to the box underneath the professor's arm. As he came into sight beside her, she could feel the pressure of the box being shoved against her skin, while he shifted it from beneath his own arm gently repositioning the cherished item.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"Professor Abast, where are we?" she demanded of him. White from all sides surrounded them, fixated by pillars that, colonial style, rose into archways that could simply have no measurement. God must have created them. Bonnie thought that the white walls might cave in if these pillars did not support them- but she realized that the architecture was more ornate and complicated than she could ever comprehend. "Professor," she gasped once more, "where are we?" </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"This is my house," he enunciated clearly. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"But surely it can't be. Only a rich person could live here." She spun around. "You are rich!"</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"Honestly," he said, looking extremely aggravated, "yes, I suppose you could say I am rich. Will you please- take a seat?" he gestured over to one of his engraved, deeply-plush, highly elegant, esteemed, perhaps, respected couches. "You are giving me a headache."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"Sorry." She gladly went over to the couch, and then started bouncing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"Stop that!"</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"It's so air-tight!" The professor walked quickly out of the room. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"Stay there!"</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"Sorry. Yes- I'll stay." She grinned as he left. When he re-entered several minutes later, he was carrying two very large cups of tea. Letting out a long, heavily-laden sigh, he crossed to the other side of the room. He placed thereupon both cups of steam on a small nightstand beside the chair, before crossing one leg elegantly over the other leg. He then picked up one of the cups, sipped on his tea, and ignored her. Bonnie swept some of her blond strands out of her face. Slowly she was beginning to retreat back into the self she'd been a few minutes earlier, the old one she might think- plagued with all of those bad thoughts. They caused her to shiver involuntarily. The professor now watched her raptly. The girl had become deathly quiet. The ticking, of a clock on one of the many pristine, looming walls ticked somehow into Bonnie's subconscious. She inclined her head towards it. Then the lope of her neck dipped down, clouding her vision. The clock now chimed eleven, so the sound of her soft snores, while the child went, surprisingly, to sleep. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Professor Abast knew that were small Bonnie to actually follow the green-brushing primary sounds in his readings that he'd diligently followed around that concerned children who had been catalogued as <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Markspeople,</i> that she would only have sleep ability as long as the music box reached through her subconscious. For it would not be in spirit of Bonnie's delicate nature to take under her control all of the music she harbored instantly. In her sleep, she gently had wrapped a cocoon around those loose, floating wisps of her own unique music genes. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"Little girl." He set his book down, unfolded himself from his seat, and walked over to her. His indecisiveness lightly breezed over her, nearly causing her, in his mind, to make her turn over, as though she could directly sense it. There was something strange about her, though not in the usual sense. Almost fearfully, he tucked a few strands of her hair behind her ears. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"Mmmnh." A soft escape of the oldest sounds in time from her box beside her complimented her baby snores. Professor Abast simply watched her as though, when everything was finished at the end of the day, he had the ability to just lie down on his couch and . . . </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Not today. Such a peace was not to be allowed him in this place and time. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"Goodnight, child." A faint smile graced her lips. He shook his head to himself. What was it about the girl that made his head revolve around in a way that never in the past had labored him with such a weighty presence? He didn't know. He could never understand this malady that had cursed him. The thought pushed his pursed mouth into a white scowl. Honestly. Green-brushing primary nuisance. How did these ideas ever come to take over him? It was not something that he could have foreseen. The girl was a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Markswoman</i> of remarkable strength, and vivacity, fervor . . . but this did not mean that the professor by any means felt comfortable sitting down at the end of a long day in a soft chair that might drown him with the beauty of reading, to cater to a girl that was to be the bane of his existence. "Stupid child," he muttered to himself. "<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Insolent</i> little whelp." How this could ever- what that old phrase said- 'luck be a lady?' Was that the phrase he sought? He now lifted his eyes to the spiraling stairway above him, framed with the grandeur of small, lacy white carvings spinning up the sides, done by a beautiful architect, and dipped one of his fingers into his mouth, to slowly draw on his face, thinking. His hands made imaginary circles as he thought. He had this habit of thinking in such mannerisms . . . growling, he stiffened his hands down at his side. What would it do him were the young girl to see him in such a form?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No, no. This- this was never going to work. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>He went up to a small door that overlooked a veranda, sectioned off in one of the most insignificant, underdeveloped or perhaps merely disliked, scoffed at areas in his affluent mansion in which he dwelled. Although many did not know of it, this was actually one of his favorite rooms. Seating himself behind a small, rickety wooden desk that looked like it wanted to fall, he smiled with pleasure to himself, removing from its ornately carved drawers a rather long pen. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Although Bonnie could not have been sure of the time she did know that the professor had placed her under some kind of magic which caused her to sleep longer than normal, Bonnie did not either comprehend how this ‘magic’ worked, albeit she did think that indeed, there was no reason to question the matter, penetratingly. Looming in the distant edge of her conscious, how and exactly why she was here vaguely frightened her. Perhaps it was simply that at the moment exploring would be a great adventure, one that not likely was to be taken by the small, insignificant meager puzzle of the entire piece which she was wont to have a hard time putting together, but which when done, would surely make the most avid picture. Bonnie knew that she was on the verge of a great epiphany of sorts, and that little by little, one piece at a time, just a time, she would be putting into sequence some kind of fabulous, unparalleled world. Bonnie would soon live this world.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Playfully, Bonnie whipped two or three of the curved hairs from her temple, and with as much <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">abounding</i> fervor as one who could not stave from the means of plenty, for Bonnie’s hunger for adventure was a gushing infinity, she lackadaisically removed herself from the couch. Noting that her box had stopped in its melody of ravenous tunes that she wanted to die for, were she- another person rather than a little girl and not a teenager with too much angst drama in her life- she gave it a sorrowful frown, before the adventure took its full form. Bonnie’s eyes roved towards the staircase, and there it was. Of course, the appearance of this quiet appearing, serene, mellow grandeur took her breath away in a more literal sense that the beauty would have suggested. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>By the time she gained the last step, after clearing several floors, the little girl was beginning to get a much more polished sense of the word beauty in its most grand form. The physical term was quite physical in the execution, luxury and wealth, small though they might be in her comprehension, made themselves known quite blatantly, really quick. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Ahhhh.” For some reason that could not be fathomed, first instinct drew her to the first one on the right. The door she now stood in front of, smiling oddly. She knocked without hesitation, dawning opening her slow to come response, which revealed the form of a tall, black-cloaked man, whose eyebrows shooting upwards made her smile once again.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Bonnie.” He seemed slightly sour. “What in the world are you doing here?” He pulled his long sleeve back to reveal a silver watch. “Oh,” he muttered, upon a glance. One line of his mouth shot down diagonally. He harrumphed. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Is something stuck in your jaw, professor?” His eyes widened, but in a dangerous sense. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“What!” She took a slow step back.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Um, Professor- I just- is there something wrong?” Her voice was completely innocent. He shook his head then, a strange look drawing about his facial expressions oddly.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“No, Bonnie. Come in.” He gestured out with one of his long-fingered hands. A black cat jumped spontaneously down from one of the windowsills in the far back on the room from out an obscured corner, and then, in a flash of dark lightening, ran out of the slip in the doorway’s light now created. Bonnie’s mouth fell open slightly.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“A cat!” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Yes. That is Selina. Impish feline,” he growled. Bonnie stepped further into the room, her wide, baby-blue eyes sparkling on making some of the room’s acquaintances. All sorts of strange oddities cluttered the professor’s room. A silver spoon hung over his desk in the shadowy corner in which he had sat, prior to her coming. Vines of every breed and variation in the blossoming flowery mannerisms that honeysuckle, or maybe . . . some of the prettier blooming she had witnessed around her neighborhood over the short years of her life dotted the walls. The whitewash would have been hard to discover. The room was ripe with silver and glasses of the extreme artistic delicacy that she knew, even while still so tender in her mind’s growth, was characteristic of greatness that took pride in making each piece a- masterpiece. Professor Abast though, she noticed, paid none of this any mind, but walked straight over to his desk and sat behind it, crossing his arms rather delicately it appeared from this angle. She stared rather sorrowfully at his back. Brushing out of the way a rather long wisp of ivy lacing across the ceiling from the part that crept along the wall next to her, she dropped her head, just standing there. She allowed her gaze to drop in its curiosity factor, giving it the meager enjoyment of the dress enclosed by a frame of now tattered frills her mother had placed on her that morning. Wrinkled layers of petticoats stared at her . . . a bit embarrassed by all the dirt and muck now scattering the red polka-dots, she drew the layers more tightly around her. Why should she care? The professor clucked, alerting her attention.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Sir?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Bonnie, I will have no qualms in telling you about your situation. How you find yourself to be in my personal living arrangements remains a mystery to you, as well as do your abilities. Come and sit.” Cautiously, she stepped over to the chair he was beckoning her into, whilst swallowing a nervous gulp deeply. The girl’s awareness of her appearance heightened as the professor straightened his robes behind the desk, lacing his white fingers together, to rest in a temple stature below his chin.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“It matters not that you are filthy,” he told her with a grimace, creating some sort of strange brushing away movement, in a perception of her worries that surprised her, “but I am however, disappointed about this plan. I told that foolish old man to stop meddling in my affairs.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Meddling in your affairs?” she questioned. He winced. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Do not ask so many questions.” She sighed, blowing the air out of her side, dejectedly hugging her arms about herself. For some reason, his eyes narrowed significantly. Why would-</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“I am not- accustomed to dealing with children, Bonnie. You did not do anything wrong, but the arrangement in which we are currently living is not one I condone. In my opinion, a plethora of other guardians would have qualifications for this- ” he gestured between himself and the girl- “that live a better lifestyle. I am sure, that my own credentials- ”Bonnie scrunched her face at him. “What are credentials?” He sighed once more.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“You see the problem.” She simply stared at the professor for several long, wide minutes, with big, round eyes, a bit befuddled, but oddly saddened, by this talk.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“It means that you don’t want to- um- take care of me.” Her face turned red. Professor Abast considered her for what seemed like a lifetime to the young blond child standing under his perceptive gaze. The black onyx of his eyes bored like a drill through her, a long, spiraling something or other that fascinated her, and at the same time made her nervous. She couldn’t describe its effect, nor understand. Finally he said slowly,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“No, Bonnie. My wants-<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and my needs have nothing to do with this situation.” His words seemed to be dredged up from a deep well of imaginary thoughts that he pulled forcefully from. He rolled his eyes backwards. “Oh, why did I agree to do this? How that portrait possibly could have inspired- ”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Portrait?” Bonnie’s eyes lit up. “The one from the forest?” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Yes,” the professor hissed. He looked at her quickly. It crossed his mind in a second that although he did not mean to display his emotions to the child, that she continually drew them from him inadvertently. She now saw concern flash across his features, if only for a moment, and he cursed himself.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“You are to be resting, at this moment.” He paused. A long green vine to the side of him caught his attention. It would not make a surfacing beauty this winter, as it normally did under musical influence. “The time is not good for you, to wonder about anything, not the slightest item in your mind,” his voice softened, “that may be troubling you. You have undergone an ordeal.” A smile graced Bonnie’s face then. That was it. The strange feeling that he elicited from her when she was with him. Safety. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“But I just took a nap, Professor.” A large, yawning, gaping hole in the desk caught his attention now. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“I know . . . ” Her eyes widened as her brilliant mind ejected several things at once for her to toy with, but after a minute or so, she picked up on the first and foremost realization<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that was there. The professor was concerned about Bonnie . . . the thought warmed her. She lowered her eyelids. That sense of safety was not threatening to overwhelm her. This was new, bright and refreshing. She had never before had this sweet feeling, not with anyone. Her experiences with her mother did not, somehow compare with what she felt now. She just knew it. In an act which astonished Professor Abast without any hope in it of the ability of description of it, in all of his skills as a highly educated person, she went up to him and put her arms around him. She was privileged to see the lines of his face soften a little, which incited her curiosity. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Professor,” she giggled, not being able to help herself, “you have a lot of lines on your face.” Her voice was soft when she said it. He harrumphed, and then gave her an ironic sneer. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“That so?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Yes.” She stared innocently at him. Professor Abast, squeezed his eyes together tightly, while placing two fingers up to his temple, one from each hand. The girl’s eyes resembled large teardrops when her legs moved of their individual accord, to carry her away to the other side of the room. She closed them in one languid movement, pulling her arms around herself. “You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.” The man wetted his dark lips with his tongue. “I have- no reason to keep any information from you.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Oh.” She folded her hands across her lap, proceeding to wait expectantly. “Good.” He rolled his eyes swiftly. Snapping his fingers to chastise himself, abruptly arising then, while resting his hands in order to hang by his sides the professor gave his chair a light, barely discernible kick- but of course the small girl heard. He walked away from her, placing his hand on the doorknob to leave the room altogether. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The trees outside the room whistled, and for some reason Bonnie could not fathom how the professor had such impeccable timing, but she was extremely sorrowful that he took his cues from the wind. He would always be leaving . . . always walking out. But then, why should this bother her? It was his house, after all. Because . . . she had to know. Even if it was a frightening choice.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Professor.” She swallowed. “Please wait- ” He did stop, but his back stayed a solid wall, effectively shielding him. “I never actually had a real family, Professor. Well, I know that I am not your responsibility and that you don’t think that you are good with- kids and everything,” the girl felt the beginnings of her courage fall loose, like small threads that were close to being unraveled from their<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>piece of cloth, “but,” she continued rapidly, “I- well, I’ve always wanted to go to school, and I’ll work really hard at my studies,” she said in a rush. Her voice was thickly earnest. “You are a teacher.” The wonderment in her voice was impossible to miss. Now he turned fully. He was looking at Bonnie squarely now, but she was unaware of his dark, frank eyes as she spoke. “You could teach me. I love to read, and I would be real good at English.” Her lips pushed upward into a thoughtful turn. “I don’t know actually, what else I would enjoy yet, because my parents never took me to school. I would be in the second grade, though, I do know that, because I kept track. That’s all I wanted to say.” She bit her lip, staring down at the floor as her eyes began to burn. This made her angry. She sniffed furiously. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Astonishingly however, to her pleasure that is astonishment, when she met his eyes finally, the professor was smirking. “Point proven. I suggest you remove those clothes. Tomorrow we will begin training you in some of the essential areas that you have neglected. I will call a servant to the manner to help you- ” and he proceeded to eye her critically. Although Bonnie blushed at this, a smile traced her lips that was full-fledged- “I’ll see you tomorrow.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Bonnie still had a lot of questions, but perhaps this had saved her from the shock she otherwise would have experienced from her ordeal, for at this moment, at the conclusion of Professor Abast’s statement, she was the happiest little girl that probably ever existed.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Later on, after Bonnie had finished changing with the help of a lady whom she liked, named Pat-sie- well that was how she said it anyway- she attempted to do as the kind lady instructed in the manner of trying hard, to go to sleep in a bed Patsie had made up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, it proved to be much more difficult than she should have supposed. Bonnie was not deterred, although from her day of extreme measures that took their heavy, somber implications upon her, playing with her mind . . . fitful though, perhaps sleep was relative. She tossed, turning under her ‘white’ pristine covers while not truly harboring any desire to sleep. It would probably be, that if she did manage to fall asleep she would probably experience dreadful nightmares after the absolutely colorful display she had just undergone, those colors of dark, dark, and dark. All she could see was the dark in her room. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bonnie saw the entire ordeal in shades of black.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course the professor was dark since he dressed entirely in black. And what was worse, it wasn’t as though she imagined these colors. She actually saw them. It had been that way ever since she was little. Her worst experiences were always projected blackly in her mind, but . . . even still, she apparently didn’t feel so nervous around this black scenery as she might have thought. Not around him anyway, so perhaps there was more about the color than sadness and- horrible places she had been, ordeals that she had undergone which had brought her to tears on each occasion, and made her feel angry. She thought about that for a minute. Perhaps the professor was not actually black in his personality. Maybe it was gray, an idea that her eyes squinted around in a probing semblance reaching for the details of his personality. Like magic, her mind offered up the grail sought after, bringing with this peace and understanding. She was right. He was gray. She remembered how he looked sipping his tea earlier, slowly taking in the flavor while she sat across from him toying with the box.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>That hot tea had had been drinking made her shiver pitifully. Deeply as she was buried, her covers would not sustain the poor tot in her ravaged state, who felt as though she had been submerged into an icy terrain, one that was freezing her small toes from her body. She pulled up into a sitting position. Why was it this cold? It shouldn’t be this chilly in the barest environment that was so neatly arrayed, though filled up with curiosities that were the professor’s penchant it would seem. More glass, and a bit of ivy . . . Bonnie welcomed the sights, even while her thinly frail body struck out in an act of rebellion. Eventually she decided that staying under the covers the entire night probably would do her more harm than it would good, and, well, surely the professor would understand if she just wandered a tiny bit, right? Coming to what could have been deemed undoubtedly as rash, the girl mischievously slithered out from her layered white sheets until her feet landed on the floor beneath her. A smug smile gracing her lips that she should have wiped in a rational mind-frame graced her little face until she crept into the hallway adjoining her room. She walked down the hall, and when she reached the suave, crème colored carpet stretching the landing rounding the end of the walk, a long spiral staircase led into an unknown territory, which immediately caught her attention. Gulping, she made up her mind by putting a foot on the first stair. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Reflexively, Bonnie had a physical reaction when the softly mellowed sounds of piano music, flowing with rupturing ecstasy dotted by the apparent beautiful enjoyment of one playing as, well, perhaps, she thought wryly, only he could, tickled her ears, coursing through her in a wave of calm that settled the butterflies previously churning her tummy like a gentle pat. The first doorway to the right had been left slightly ajar, and here was where she came to a halt, holding her breath jerkily. She bit her lip for a minute, not a few seconds, gnawing like a grinder her meek lips, unable to precipitate. Then she walked in, slid herself behind the door’s frame within a shadowy corner, and watched the professor play an unfamiliar tune upon a lovely black, glistening grand piano. She barely heard herself breathe, holding back as though she were actually a suspended fragment of time and space- what she wouldn’t give to the world, where she able to play like he was now playing. Grinning slyly, she slid down the wall behind her to a cross-legged position. Then she settled into an apt observance of the wonderful display in front of her, enchanted by the professor who slowly regaled his undetected audience. Sweat beaded his brow as he moved through cadences that swooped over her in a wide arc that she did not recognize, but that were so, terribly enlivening. His black hair fell backward during moments which spiraled to a peak, and then down over his face in a teasing interplay, also for the first time creating an appeal of light, wispy tendrils at the end of the strands framing his face. For the first time she saw the professor in what was perhaps the most singularly unique, complicated, but honest picture he had ever borne. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Bonnie breathed a deep sigh of relief. Professor Abast threw his hands into a full, flushed melody that danced over the keys quicker than the pace of a jackrabbit running from a predator, thick with supplication, like a woman, deeply blushing, begging for a kiss from the lips of her lover. It arose above her and around them both, arose higher, then fell back into a burst of energy, before finally, the movements began slowing, creeping to a rest, into fingers stopping. His lined face softened by euphoria that had not ever existed until this point, she could not make herself to think, acknowledgement to the child in the corner, not existent. How could it be? His breathing worked around to a nice, steady slow, pulsation of a sweet smelling sense that filled the air now swept Bonnie into a peace that she had never imagined the effects of, before she met with the love she held for what had just occurred. Her very breath seemed to become as one entity with the professor’s, both of them one sentient being in some strange way, and with the music. And that something, it must have been that something, compelled the child to move, without a sound, over to the man sitting at the piano. She stood next to his tall form for a minute, quietly watching his closed features. Finally he opened his eyes, meeting hers with immediate surprise. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Bonnie.” Just a word then.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“I’m sorry.” In a mature act, she offered a hand to him, though to an unknown purpose, just held it out. “I know that I shouldn’t have come in here, but you were playing the piano, and I wanted to listen to you,” she said breathlessly, her cheeks still rosily entreating him to believe her shining face. “It was <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">gor</i>geous. You play so wonderfully.” Her words were magnetically earnest. But interestingly, surprise again from this man overwhelmed her, as he merely glanced down at her feet while her heart pounded, not looking like one who would in any way be about to reprimand her actions. Her flushed cheeks nonetheless deepened at his directed gaze. Her blond hair had been brushed, and she’d taken a bath, but- she had only been dressed in a gown of thready white satin, that just barely shielded her body. In a reflexive act that he had become quite accustomed to, in this short time, she put her arms around herself, tightly reigning in her bodily warmth, for some reason, now feeling ashamed. Those dark eyes met hers again and bored through her as though they were x-rays.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“You’re shivering,” he stated. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“I’m fine, sir.” He drew one, spidery finger swiftly across his lips. “You should be in bed.” He pursed his lips slightly. “But it is a beautiful instrument,” he enumerated in silky, soft tones, caressing the piano for a last time with his attention. Lines of thought folded across his forehead. “I can understand why you wanted to hear me play.” She could hardly believe what her ears were saying. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“You mean you don’t mind that I listened?” It was too good to be true, it was really! He lifted his head. After a time, tutted. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“You make no sense with your foolishness, child. Why should I mind that you listened?” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Well,” she paused. “Daddy- see, well he never wanted me to listen. He always got angry whenever I played my music box at home.” Professor Abast lifted his eyebrows delicately.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“You can listen here,” he said poignantly. The child smiled brightly at him. A smirk just hardly tugged at his lips, but she saw it anyway.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Go to bed.” She grinned at him now fully.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Yes, sir.” Bonnie was reluctant to turn around though. She simply stared at him, awed by the tall, formidable man’s formality, although exactly what made the impression on her she knew was obscure at this moment. Professor Abast found himself in an odd predicament as well, compelled as he was to just stare at her. Something, a small trickle of whatever it was, stirred behind his black orbs, but what it was, again she could not decipher, or in any way or manner determine, but only knew, that it was going to be okay. She bit her lip again, inadvertently moving closer to him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“You- you are comfortable with your arrangements?” he asked, his voice bent with a thready hesitation. Yet Bonnie, to his good fortune, was considerably, among all of her other strange qualities, exquisitely bright. An excellent, beneficial brightness for everyone. She understood what he asked, her brain stimulated with admiration just now. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“I’m very comfortable with them sir.” He shifted in his chair, and then, coughed. “Am I making you uncomfortable, Professor?” she inquired. He coughed again, twice in a row. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“No, no of course you aren’t.” A dull flush crept into his long white cheeks. His eyes then flitted back to her person. “Why have you nothing on your feet?” he scolded her. The question took her aback.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“I don’t know. I didn’t think about it. Er- well when I tried to go to sleep I became distressed, and started to think about how I came to be here with you and- understanding that you’d explain everything I- um- ” She lowered her eyes. “I don’t understand everything. It makes me nervous.” She shivered now involuntarily, somehow seeking an invisible terror against her own will. The professor of course knew that it would not sit to explain anything to her. Not now. Yet, facing what was.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Blast it all, Bonnie, I told you I am not good with children!” he exclaimed suddenly, in a burst of warm distress that made his face color up again, jerking upward into a stand with his hands curled into tight, sculpting fists. She saw his nails dig into the skin. She was mesmerized by the agonizing strength they used to cut him. “Look at you- you are going into shock- and I have positively no idea how to help you, blast it. Meddling old man . . . ” Bonnie empathized with the professor in but a mere minute. She padded over to him and reached out with one of her soft hands, raised it to his rock-hardened fists, to, eliciting astonishment from him, the calloused, ink-stained fingers.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“It’s okay, I understand. You don’t need to be ‘good’ with me. I’m used to taking care of myself.” He visibly swallowed, his face still turned deliberately away from the girl patting his hands. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">He looks like a rock or a piece of boulder. </i>The innocent thought sobered the bright girl, who in spite of her still fresh, not quite eloquent vocabulary when she thought this, was able to commiserate with him, uniquely and therefore with love. His handsome<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>hair swept back, folding around his angular shoulders, and his black, deep eyes of an inky-jet color, as dark, and icily fascinating as his overall demeanor, portrayed a scene that made her let out a sigh.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“I’m sorry, Bonnie,” he said lowly. Then he finally looked at her. “I will make an attempt to explain tomorrow.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Sir . . . you have some baggy things under your eyes. Are you sick?” she questioned. For just a fleeting ghosting instant, tenderness passed through his cold orbs, but they left the same frostiness there. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“I am not sick . . . it is nothing to concern yourself with.” She bent her head over. Then there was a swooping sound before her, while Professor-Abast went to knee-level. She looked back up, her wide eyes of baby-blue drilling him like little fiery pigments, and to her surprise . . . he held out his hands to her, in supplication. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“I am afraid that I will hurt you.” His voice was raw with cutting-edge misery that, in a mysterious figure of a black shadow, went into her very soul, though she did not understand it, and it made her ache for him. She somehow understood that earnestness had sneaked into the professor’s entire manner, so subtle in quality, yet meaning so much, to her, that she suddenly started crying. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Bonnie, what is the matter?” he asked her, alarmed. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“I- I’ve never had someone who cared about me before.” She went to lean her head against his chest. He, taken aback for an instant, said nothing. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“It’s alright, Bonnie,” he whispered at last. “It’s alright.” Then he gathered the little wisp of a girl into his black-armed robes, and held her, as she sobbed brokenly, at a complete loss. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Inside the very heart of the forest, where there was no light falling through the canopy, in thick blackness of brambles, leaves, and- unknown frightening plant-life in various sundry forms, and situations- same passions probably . . . </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"Professor." Bonnie's voice was barely above a whisper. He dipped his head to indicate his attention. "Professor, where are we?" she whispered. He coughed. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"The ocean. That is where we are headed."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"The ocean?" she asked. Why then were they in this clearing? Bonnie began smelling strange curiosities however that quickly took her mind away from unpleasant and worrying notions spinning around- she glanced up and immediately her eyes were trained upon a turkey that ran by, clucking in a way that suggested a human predator was chasing it down for meal time. It was strange. As she experienced her surroundings with the most important sense, items in her vision floated around that demanded her attention. She sucked one of her fingers, hard. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"Professor!" she exclaimed. "Why are my eyes moving of their own accord?" He growled. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"They are not moving of their own accord. This is a potent area in which there lives all types of sentient spells that were founded . . . ahem. Too extensive information at the moment. At the proper time, Bonnie." <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I wonder what he means by the proper moment? </i>she thought. Bonnie bit her lip hard, before yanking on the professor's robes roughly. He spun towards her. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"What- " he bared his dark lips in a snarl, "You are an insolent child." Bonnie's teeth were grinding against her lips like a machine. Yet she lifted her head, and stared at him. Jerkily he threw up a hand before her, in a what she thought to be singularly odd gesture. She tried to stop her reaction, but deviously a corner of her mouth slid out, in a soft, subdued smirk. She attempted to hide her face from his eyes. Oddly, once again, the professor sighed. "Come with me, you exasperating little creature." Exasperating creature? Again! He really was the strangest person, and so, she merely allowed herself a moment to- smirk. Hmm. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Bonnie did not have anyone to tell her this, but she had an exceptionally bright young brain. However it may amuse her at times to- use it. Oh, but when she had nothing with which to bide her time, that she would dwell over things that could not be seen, that could not, in any instance be helped was a given. During these moments images would float across her conscience as they did now, slowly bubbling to the surface of her shiny brain, waving their dark limbs in front of her tired, beaten-down child's heart, sending her obvious messages that would tear her up, harm her. They were inevitable. They could not be helped. Way too much had happened to the girl in her current state and she was finally meeting up with her recent change in the environment, but, more importantly, with her life at home. So, she stopped walking. The professor, upon detecting the lack of noise mixed with questioning drills, ceased in his trek. In a deliberate action, he too paused and spun back toward the child. A curious type of phenomenon had manifested in the rigid girl, who stood within the throes of a deathly quiet, stock-still. Not a sound was the mouse making. Insolent- </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Why,</i> pray tell me, have you parted ways, here? Have we reached our destination, do you think?" She did not answer. "There is a reason for your inability to answer, I presume, Bonnie." There was, of course. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"Yes, there is," she stated. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"What would that be?" Wind spiraled through the trees, meandering through the professor's waspish hair that seemed to her to be somehow connected to his character. It curtained her from view, mocking her person. But Bonnie could not answer his question. His hair was enchanting, made its way into her thoughts, sitting there, quite at home in the empty, sloshing, space. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"I don't know. I'm sorry, Professor." The nature of his face quickly altered. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"Look at me, Bonnie." Sounds of barely suppressed breathing issued into the minute shadowy enclosure, punctuated only by the squeaking of a fowl with vocal chords- vocal chords that sounded like <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">her</i> owl. Hers . . . quietly suppressed breathing, bubbling just beneath the surface of a dangerous volcanic eruption. "I- I can't." </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"Bonnie," he said. "I have something to give you." He reached deeply within the pocket of his velvet cloak, withdrawing from it a small wooden box-</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"My music box!" She exclaimed. Steadily, his onyx marbles bore into her. "Open the box, Bonnie," he told her in his deep, rumbling voice. It was as thick as his velvet. "Open it."She did, and consequently began to unwind it immediately. Hugging herself, she started to sway back and forth, vacuuming the music inside herself. The foul's calls erupted overhead. She visibly, painfully could- see it, biting, and cawing, and her father's fervent, predatory hands, as he squeezed-</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"No!" she shouted. Throwing the music box on the ground with a force of magnitude that succeeded her, apparently, in years, she turned to full-out, flight, not caring that she had broken the pretty box while so upset- she just wanted to run. The professor caught her with a strong arm. She was pouring forth a stream of words, stringing an issued narrative that was rough, a mess, a pile of dirt without any meaning. Her words spewed out as she cried, cried for all of it, cried, and tore at the man's robes. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"I'm not going back! I don't know why you kidnapped me, but I'm not going back!" she sobbed with utter anguish, hearing, through the mad rush, a surprisingly calm voice above her. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Listen</i> to me," Professor Abast said harshly to her. "You foolish, pertinent little girl. I am not taking you back to your family. We are going to my manor. It is not far from this clearing. Pick that music box back up," he instructed. Glancing at him, she reached down. She had the broken instrument clutched within her small hand tightly. Her lips trembled though, her breathing, was raggedly, prompting a reaction that was directly in reverse of the professor's wishes. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"For goodness sakes child, relax. Give me the box. It matters little if it is broken. Give it to me, now. Now then." The tiny little medium of the various tunes Bonnie had known throughout the last couple of years, those so precious, now silenced forever, was caught, into the flourishing, long-fingered white hand. He lifted the box into the air, singing in a low flawless voice, for several minutes. She ran her fingers through her silky blond hair while listening to him. His voice calmed her down a bit, so she found herself nearing him slowly. Wide-eyed, she watched his actions raptly.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>When Professor Abast finished the lilting, hushed hues of a song that seemed to color up the world with a blanket of calming paints and a splashing of pretty, which Bonnie wanted to put her hands into, draw with, she leaned up against the professor, her eyes closing. A smile barely traced her face beneath dried tracks of felled tears, paying the dour man with astonished paralyzation. He did not move. Strange. A<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>feeling was inside him. He couldn't quite depict it. The sudden urge had arrived out of nowhere, lacing his body with a difficult war. He did not wish to touch the child, but found himself revoltingly unable to resist reaching out to her with his left hand, to steady her shoulder. Bonnie started. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"Oh. I'm sorry, Professor." She averted her gaze as she quickly pushed away from him. He swallowed. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"Bonnie." He paused. "I need you to- please- take my arm." </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"Okay." With little hesitation, she reached out to grab the robed appendage beneath the elbow. He cleared his throat. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"Now. This is going to be a new experience for you. But there will be no harm done, and no reason to fear."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"Professor?" she gulped. He nodded. "It's alright," he whispered. He then proceeded to open the music box. Unwinding it, the music started to play, making her think that his touch must have been made of magic, in some way. She closed her eyes and immediately started to drift off. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"Not quite yet," his low voice reached through her trance, like piano keys, that took on a bass tone through her 'special' cadences. "Don't let yourself drift yet, Bonnie. I want you thinking of a place. Picture a mansion in your head. The pillars are white, framed by terraces that stretch into a deep valley. Picture that, now. Good." The professor's voice appeared satisfied, causing her to smile. "Take me to that first terrace." Slowly Bonnie went to sleep. </span></div>
