[O]



The more time I spend around them the more I wish to stay away.
Effortless it is for them.
Completely effortless.


No crippled interactions, prominent limps, or social awkwardness impeding their paths.

And yet always modest and humble to the end.
They grasp desperately for the fifteen minutes of fame then dismiss it as a second thought.
What a waste.

Always wasted on children.
He sat alone now days.
He even made sure that he would not have to see them.
The white bleak weather was crippling and his form was only attractive to the young and greedy.

"Candles! I want candles!"
"YOUR PELT-SHARE!"
"Mask! Send me the mask!"

More more more.
Gimme gimme gimme.
It was maddening.

Leave me alone.

He couldn't make them. He only hoped their freewheeling stupidity would hurdle them over his shoulder and he could slow to a walk. They were faster to a fault.
That was the way of the foolish.
They chased him down obsessively and then lost sight as they trampled past unaware that their quarry was lost again in the background.

He would have nothing to do with those that ran about stupidly.
No.
Only those willing to sit silently and reflect with him were welcome to being acknowledged.

You cannot spell spam, attention whore, or stalk your way into his triangle of friends.
Patience.
Always patience.

He was accustomed to fleeing at the sight of any deer now.
Not of fear, no, but disdain.
Cliches.
all of them.
Their attention only a fleeting little preoccupation before a new distraction came.

Your writings never cease to

Your writings never cease to amaze me, especially those involving "...?". I like all of your characters very much and your style is great, but I find myself much more more drawn to writings I feel I can relate to. Sticking out tongue

Edit: ^ Okay, I sound stupid.

I can relate as well.
