“So, what is your opinion?”
I slowly dipped my bread into the meat sauce the young waiter had served to me a moment earlier. I milled the thoughts over in my mind; What would happen? My eyes flicked from my meal, sitting in a sky-blue bowl, to the eyes of Guiliano, which happened to be the exact same color. I stared at them for a minute or two, attempting to read his expression.

I love writing. I just really do. Some of my stories are short, and have no room for a sequel or prequel, but that seems quite alright to me. When I write, things just start flowing out of me, from my fingertips to the keyboard, not really any stops in between. I trust the participants of Ficlets to respect that, and to read, and hopefully enjoy, my thoughts.
“Son, one day you will make a girl happy for a short period of time. Then she’ll leave you and be with men ten times better than you. Those men are called musicians.”
My “series” are not really series; the storylines are not complete or at all detailed enough. I consider everything I write as sort of a warm-up, myself preparing for my first attempt at a Ficlets series. Everyone has been so kind about it, nothing but compliments, and I appreciate that so much.
