it's the end of the eclipse by the time i go out to see the little nature on the flat plains. i've always been a geek for plants and animals.
i think someone comes beside me cause i can feel the wind in my silky blonde-ish hair and i hear footsteps.
"hello, what are you looking at?" i hear a smaller voice, timid and shy coming from the presence next to me.
"stuff. bugs. plants. small animals. i'm kinda sorta obsessed with the things." i say, shrugging. i then look up, about to say 'why'd you come here' when i see her.
her.
she's pale, maybe ghostly pale, and she has brown hair reaching her shoulders. you can tell she cut it off earlier from the choppy way it swerves. she's wearing a doctor who shirt and black ripped skinny jeans. the jeans are brilliantly placed on her legs, showing off her tender, fragile frame. her neck looks soft and you can see a small bit of her prominent collarbones. but her eyes are the most stunning.
they're a beautiful light blue, like the sea of a tropical beach and the color of the california sky on good days. maybe a little darker.
i huff, forgetting what i wanted to say, but quickly coming up with something. "do you like space?"
