Bones And Circuits

A park bench. Check. Partly cloudy sky? Check. A snack in hand? Got that too. Sun beginning to set? Beautiful. People? Varied, and distant. Perfect.

Kasey sat alone on the long bench, her arms reaching out to either end of the bench, just a few inches short of touching both ends. She closed her eyes, a smile on her face as she took in the warmth of the sun. It was peaceful for once. And she could relax.

A black tank top, the bits of the bandage that covered her chest visible as it wrapped all the way to her neck, leaving her arms bare. The large blue windbreaker, worn loosely exposing the skin of her shoulders and arms. Her hands wrapped in the same white bandages, though tanned from age. Her slacks green, and faded in some areas from use. Her feet, a similar, but not the same cloth that covered the rest of her. Red horns sat on her head as she took in the feeling. It was nice to have a quiet moment every once in a while. The candy bar in her hand as she listened to the few birds around her, and the few pigeons that dared get close to her.

"You're all lucky I'm not who I was a few years ago." she would say have jokingly.

But the pigeons knew.
