TARGET ACQUIRED // STRANGE AND BEAUTIFUL 🔫

MOONLIGHT     QUICKLY     ARRESTS     THE     SOUL.     what     loneliness   ,     that     she     should     delight     at     such     small     conversation.       &     what     piety     that     naught     else     but     indifference     shows     through     cratered     visage.        the     meager     clearing     of     her     throat   ,     followed     by     the     pitter - patter     of     dexterous     digits     on     stony     chin.            ❛   i     was     under     the     impression     that     HONESTY     was     a     core   ,     moral     value.     &     that     it     was     commonplace.   ❜

THE SMILE CREASES AT THE CORNERS OF HER EYES; and she can hardly tell if the woman is putting her on or is truly so naïve. Deciding to play along, whether or not it’s all a big laugh, Lorraine shrugs, pulling away the cigarette between two bandaged fingers. ❛ HONESTY is meant for those with souls worth saving; ❜ she replies coolly, blue gaze practically entranced by the woman, whose beauty was growing more and more magnetic. It’s truly as if she has no control over how DRAWN she is.  ❛ The rest of us only afford it when we bloody well feel like it. ❜
