Nora Blake repels ordinary. Adam Clarke is constructed entirely of ordinary. ● ● ● "I don't want to share you with the galaxy, Nora Blake," he says quietly, and all at once, all the stars inside my chest are being flung across the universe at full speed and for that particular moment, I am untethered. Unrooted. Flowing. Floating. Something. He doesn't have to, I think, instantly. I am vaguely aware of the fact that I am a kind of traitor: but there is no heavy stone of betrayal in my chest.

Nora Blake gives up the galaxy. I look at him, then, and there's so much color oozing out of his perfect, jagged cracks that I feel like I'm in one of Nadia's Leonid Afremov paintings and there's a supernova in my chest. "You don't have to," I tell him, so quietly that I don't think he hears. His delicate rose-pink mouth is curved into a kind of frown and his baby-blue gray-flecked gaze is lost somewhere far, far away from the devoid town of Enfield. I recognize that much, and I wonder momentarily if he has his own galaxy somewhere. I don't want to share him either, I think.

"Are you my Karma in a masquerade, punishing me for my sins, while I was falling in love with you?" Nicholas cried, stepping closer. I withered by the sofa as he flooded his glass with wine, it's scarlet staining the trail of struggle betwixt us. His drunken face plastered with a forceful smirk that failed to hide his painful eyes, as he raised his glass at me. "I raise a toast to your successful pretentiousness." "My lie was hiding my truth, but my love wasn't. And the truth is, I don't deserve to love or be loved. You fell in love with everything about me, yet not me," I confessed, as tears seeped down my eyes, filling my empty glass. He crashed his heavy body on mine, as his wine drained down my transparent shirt stripping my misfit identity. His hands tugged at my skirt, unzipping it, as I held him midway. "No-" I hissed. "I fell in love with a human. But you were only a delusion," Arjun expressed. ••••• ❝To bully or be bullied, to love and yet be hated- The third gender only knows the extremes.❞ Things have never been simple for Karnika aka Karn, a trans person who identifies as 'female'.
