I mounted the roof, my soles scraping against the dusky gray shingles.   There was something beautiful in the air, and it could not be seen.   I inhaled sharply.   It had been too many moons. I walked with my hips making a jaunty circle with my shoulders.   My tongue pricked the air to gather the scents of the night.   Then I swooped down, tensed, and coiled my languorous body like a cat. I spotted him before he could even register my presence.   I could tell because they always know I'm there before they realize it, unconsciously, as if I am inches from their face, watching them in sleep.   I tip my head to the side and allow my eyes to adjust to the dim light of the buzzing streetlamp so I can get a better look at my prey. Tall, built, about 23 years of age.   Strong...

                 I'm not allowed to be touched, but I'd sure as hell like to be.  Photo credit goes to Nathan Dumlao When I was little and watched the neighborhood kids play in the dirt from the sterile, plate-glass window on the front of our big, new house, Mama told me I couldn’t play.   I don’t remember how old I was.   Two? Three? Not quite old enough to show you a number with my soft fingers when you asked—not that I could use my hands for much else, now or back then.   Those days, I had skin as white and thin and sheer as butterfly wings.   Mama told me it was beautiful, like gossamer.   I didn’t know what gossamer was, but I was mad at the word that apparently meant that I wasn’t allowed to play outside. Nowadays I’m significantly bigger and stronger, but I’m still my mother’s butterfly, soft and fragile.   Not to be touched.   By anyone, and just barely by my mama and my daddy. ...

My First "Moodbooks"

So, here are a couple of these little impromptu multimedia experiments I decided to whip out in the wee hours this morning.  Hope you enjoy! P.S. Please ignore the YouTube links in the vids for right now; I'm listing them at the bottom of the videos so that you can actually click on them there (you won't be able to in the videos). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= DWaB4PXCwFU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6exsatE- DUk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7TLTjqUyog https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwrHwZyFN7M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nntd2fgMUYw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4QL0L9fgbg

It's been a while. Life has been big, bad, and interesting for Eve here.  Yessiree.  She's been around the bend a few too many times and has gotten a tad dizzy.  In a tizzy, mind you.  But now it's time she's come back down to earth. Okay, enough talking in the third person already.  That's just a bit too quirky and grandiose. I think it's time I start writing more regularly, especially as the semester winds to a quick (but not-quite-quick-enough) close.  I was just telling my mom about this quote I had found (by Ray Bradbury? Not sure) about writing--that there are times in a writer's life when their cups are filled, and times when they are emptied.  Times to listen, and times to speak.  For me, I think 'tis the season I begin to speak.  So, here we are.  Here we go.  Hang on tight.  I'm taking you along for the ride.
