Knockin' On Heavens Door

Chapter 3: Him

                       I woke up again but this time at a reasonable hour. Feeling a lot better might I add. I still prepare my breakfast with a bit of unease in my gut. Waffles with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. When it's perfected I can just sit back and admire my work, light glistens off the shine of the strawberries. The sun is up but my kitchen is still mildly dark as I only opened the small window above the sink. This moment of beauty only lasts just that as I quickly proceed to devour this mountain of breakfast goodness with a side of soda. Leaning back and closing my eyes I have Nirvana open the glass door to my tiny backyard for a corner house. At least now the sun is waking me up more and the cool breeze blows through my (h/c) hair. On the breeze it carries the scent of Liliach from my bush next to the door on the left. It's lavender goodness is enough to let me gently open my eyes and lean forwards in my seat. Realizing I ought to be some kind of productive today,

'No nightmare will hold me back.' I mouth the last part under my breath. Standing up nirvana then tosses my camera and camera bag, I catch the camera and just barely latch onto the bag before the contents have the chance to spill on the tile floor.

" You never did explain to me what kind of work you do with that device there (y/n)." She asks I open the front door as to head out.

" Oh," I halt from leaving  " I run a business, I take photos, then offer three different resizes as wall art for homes or gifts. Though I also take special requests with an extra fee."

She makes this brief face of 'ohh' . Before I wave for her to follow as we walk down my front lawn. " And now we are getting more photo options for my website. Though it's very limited it still helps with sales as now instead of living in a larger city i'm in a small town."

We start off with a spot I have wanted to photo for awhile. Which is where I was painting on the day I met the boys. Nothing in this town is too far so I hop on my yellow vespa and Nirvana follows. TO only my conscience. Once we get there I park the bike along the grass and get my camera ready.

" Right lense, right setting. Aight"

-snap - snap- snap- -snap-

" Always have to get multiple as to pick out the possible best."

We end up hitting a several more scenic spots in Morioh. Up the hillside, Out in the fields. Some townhouses with a neat lighting along the siding.

_ About an Hour later-

Parked on the vespa we are going through the photos I took. The camera Clicking past each one we side past. A mixture of 'mhm hm' or and ugly 'nhm-m' from both me and Nirvana as we check each shot out.

" This street is pretty empty to be in town. I have a neat idea for a photo too. Watch this."

I slide off the bike and the kickstand clanks against my boots.

" If I sit in the middle of the street, I could get a full view of both sides of the road and the orangey sky! I'd look so artistic, plus there's only a few people on the sidewalk. I'm sure they won't mind."

POV change*

I don't tend to go out very often nowadays. Working on Pink Dark Boy and gloating to myself is hard work. I just want to get home quickly, but this girl catches my eye. I'm slowly drifting down the sidewalk. But she, she's running into the street. Weird. What is she doing? Lifting her hands in the air like that. What is she holding on to? Oh wait- That's a camera- SNAP-
