She sat atop the stars and watched as the people below continued
with the ebb and flow of life. And as the days went by she yearned for nothing
more than to fall from her place among the stars and live like them. Like the
people below her.
These humans...these humans were fascinating.
How easily they could feel such terrifying multitudes of anger, sadness, happiness and love were beyond her. She yearned for these feelings- these emotions-
which the people taught her; as she watched them scream and shout words to
describe what they felt in their hearts and knew in their minds, to cut and
tear at each other's flesh and ear away at their cracking facades.
Some days she thought she could feel these
emotions too.
I'm angry, she'd say. I'm sad, she'd scream. I'm happy, she'd cry. And then her smile would drop. Her eyes would trail away from the reflective surface of the never
ending abyss that surrounded her and she’d stare at the earth below her.
She couldn’t feel.
No matter how hard she tried
…she couldn’t feel.
...to be continued
Just a bit of writing to shake off the boredom.
