The Stranger watched me through the window, her masks hanging on the wall behind her. Some were satin, some were steel, some were silk and some were leather. Each day she chose a new mask.
We were in love, the Stranger and I, but she never showed me what was behind that mask. In all fairness, she never saw my face, either.
It wasn’t that we were lying to each other; there are just some secrets you tell. Many I never told her.
She was the Stranger, but she never saw the Stranger in myself.

There are those who say that life is like a book, with chapters for each event in your life and a limited number of pages on which you can spend your time. But I prefer to think that a book is like life, particularly a good one, which is well worth staying up all night to finish. —Lemony Snicket
Books I am Currently Reading
Breakfast At Tiffany’s by Truman Capote
Suite Française by Irène Némirovsky
City of Ember by Jeane DuPrau
As it were, summer is drawing to a close…This year, I am undertaking AP English and a potentially useless year of gym…
So, if I’m not on Ficlets as much as I used to be, deal with it.
Most of my Ficlets are inspired by books, Billy Joel, or Jack Johnson songs.
