Strange. Strange and beautiful. No, not beautiful. Stunning. But strange. What else could be expected? He was beautiful, stunning and strange. And expected.
Yet unexpected. Strange in his unexpectedness yet expected in his strangeness. No description would do him justice, yes, it would be a sin even to try. But isn't that what people do? Sin? I know I do. Not willingly, of course. It happens before I even notice it. Or perhaps it is willingly. For if it was truly unwillingly, wouldn't I try harder to prevent it?
But since I have already sinned (I have described him as strange, stunning, beautiful, expected and unexpected already), I might as well continue. Right?
Another thing that I wrote while unable to sleep. (Let's hope it won't become a habit.) Now while I was writing it, imagined some fairytale character, perhaps a little LOTR-like. When I was typing it into Sta.sh, I noticed though that it might sound a bit like all those vampire stories that roam the world at the moment. That is NOT what I have in mind. That being said, you my let your imagination run wild and interpreted in anyway you like. Be sure to leave a comment, I'd love to know what you think! And that includes constructive criticism

EDIT: the stupid thing about titles is, that it always gives focus. Always. When I would say 'expected', I'd put focus on the expected part. Not my intention. 'unexpected' would do the same. Same goes for 'description', or any other word that might seem a key word. Even 'right?' as a bad title, because it focuses on the ending, whereas I wrote the piece as a whole, not as a part that leads towards the end. Why, oh, why can't I find a decent title?

Beautiful in my eyes! And no, no connection formed in my mind between this and that vampire poplit stuff. I understand your fears about that, though; I write a beautiful short story for English class based on Broken Destinies, and my beloved English teacher thinks it has something to do with Twilight! she who should know that I would never so much as read something like that!
