Happy Birthday, Jay: January 2, 2011
Jason was the name of my younger brother. Jay, for short. He looked nothing like me. Blonde, short - cropped hair, skin white like cold sand, and eyes that sparkled blue like a baby's, even if he's eleven now.
I had horribly dark, green hair that looked like dirty, crumpled up leaves, skin brown and scaly like tree bark, and eyes that glowed shallow and dark.
Because I was a tree. Jason was human.
Even if I am a tree now, I'm not even sure it's your birthday, but...
Happy birthday, Jay.
