Dear Mister Bright Blue

Jewel

The next day came, still no Mr. Bright blue.

Im getting quite worried. Why was he not here yet? It's not like him to be.. missing. But, I shouldn't come to conclusions. I don't even know his name.

I sigh and pick up a couple of the jewels and craft supplies, paying for them of course. 

Saying goodbye to my co workers and boss, I head home. However, it was only until I took a closer look at the cheap jewels. Haa, these won't work.

It was just then that I see a crystal store around the corner. A tiny peek won't hurt, right?

Opening the clear glass door, I immediately am shocked at the pure beauty. Colourful gems decorated every table, shelf, display case in the store. I walk around a bit and spot a teal, aquamarine jewel. It was perfect.

$126 

Ouch. I'm almost certain this amount would probably be nothing to Mr. Bright blue, but i'm not the richest person around. The cafe pays decent. Quite well actually, however I also juggle a few other jobs and some don't pay, well, enough. I'm barely scraping by but this amount won't hurt a lot, right? 

It's a one time thing, I convince myself.

I muster up the courage and bought it, the shopkeeper being very nice and put it in a small velvet box.

I walk home and let out a huff. It was about to be winter and was getting colder and colder everyday.

As I breathe in and out, slight puffs of steam appear. It's really cold.

When I reached the door, I swiftly unlocked it, went inside and made my way to my room.

After setting up a tiny table, I laid down all the jewels and crafts. There were a couple of silver and gold metal rings.

Deciding on what design I want to make, I get to work.

Weaving the pieces of metal together to braid them into a thicker ring.

It took around 45 minutes to finish weaving them together and I spent another hour to force the crystal into the perfect shape.

When I finally finished, I held it up to the light.

A bright blue jewel shined.
