King of Everything

A true story -- How do you explain Nicholas Sheldon to someone who has never met him? Would you start with his overwhelming appearance, that when standing, his six -foot stature, football player build was enough to fill any doorway? As you try to paint the mural, you would obviously include his smile, the little crooked half-crescent that only the quickest of jokes could reveal. Indisputably, you would mention his personality--demanding attention the moment he entered any room. He wouldn't really even have to say anything for every person in the room to immediately recognize his presence. Or, would you start with something more personal, like his heart? The kind of heart, that once accepted, would never let any harm come to you. Anyone would tell you that Nick Sheldon was a loving guy, always trying to make sure everyone was happy, even if his methods weren't always ethical. Not to say that he wasn't also the first person to make fun of your newest jumpsuit or comment on every single one of your most embarrassing flaws. But I have come to find that actually this was Nick's highest form of flattery, he just also wanted to make sure you hated yourself, too. He's just a gentleman like that.
