This is what ‘Lucy in the sky with diamonds’ means for them. This space they occupy when they are together and all the world vanishes. Just their ...kin, their smell, their breath and her shining eyes above him with the stars haloed around her fiery curls. He can feel her now heavy on his chest, breathing into his shoulder in ragged pants as she settles. That was heaven. That was the place where she would be now, the place he’d go when he left this world. Back to that moment. His phone rings. He. A few moments later an older man came to the window and handed me a brown paper bag. I thanked him and apologized for bothering them. I walked back to the curb and opened the bag. I was going to pack napkins around the cut to keep it from bleeding so bad until I got home. There were three cheeseburgers wrapped in wax paper and a five dollar bill in the bag, along with a big stack of napkins. They thought I was some kind of homeless person. I sat there fighting tears off while I packed my shoe. Now despite her obvious attraction to me and my interest in her she declined invites to join me for cocktails after the show. I can only surmised that she was probably married. So we lingered outside the old theater afterwards and talked for hours. She even showed up after the brush up rehearsal and we spent the better part of the evening talking after everyone had gone.The Halloween night performance had just ended and the cast headed to the reception area to meet their friends and other. So, I threw myself into my schooling. Yup, Terrence Woods, PHD, and only fifteen fucking years old. So what did I get to do? Yup, you guessed it. Work.Of course it was my "side projects" that took up most of my time. I mean, you can only get so excited about genetic food additives. So I ended up half-assing my "Real" work and spent my free time doing what interested me.At fifteen, that was sex.Now at fifteen, you'd assume I would know very little, but thanks to my parents, I knew almost.
