I - Night

Many adored her curls. Long, elegant curls you'd see on a porcelain doll, the color of a slight twinge of twilight. They would fall and bounce, framing her face like dangling snakes. Her skin was soft to the touch, cool but an underlying warmth came from beneath. She felt this as she rested a palm on that soft perfect pale cheek, dabbled with a streak of mascara.

A breeze from the open bus window drifted past her bare shoulders and she shivered. The small black kitten always at her side began to purr audibly as the girl hugged it close into her lap. Stretching her neck, she let a smile come to her lips, realizing that the bus was purring too. It rumbled as it meandered across the dark country roads. She wanted to confront the bus and ask why it was so happy to be traveling at such a late hour. For all she was concerned, night was a horrible time to be driving. With nothing lighting the roads but the moon and headlights, surely something dangerous could happen. But all was quiet except the rumbling and purring and a little tune running through the girl's mind.

Soon, the bus rounded a turn and it could be seen that the road now wound close to the ocean, small peaks of water in the distance highlighted by the moon and its false rays of light. 'False?' the girl pondered as she questioned why she had thought of it that way. The rays were perhaps truly from the sun, but why did their reflection off the moon deem them false? Maybe there was somthing about the moon that contained a certain sense of untruth. She shifted her position on the seat to look behind her at the ocean, causing her kitten to protest in the form of a subdued 'mrrouu.' Looking down at the waves lifting and falling, she remembered that the moon too controlled them and their tides. 'That moon...' she scolded silently, furrowing her brow at the silver sphere. Like so many people in her life, controlling and filled with falsities. Brilliant one night, so full of itself as it floated in the sky like a proud balloon. Nearly invisable another night, hiding away in the shadows as it lead a hidden life under the black covers. 'And where does it go during the day anyways?' she continued in her head, accented by a string quartet gently swaying in a sonata never written. This distracted her from any other further thought, turning back around with a smile returning to her lips. Gently stroking her kitten's neck, she closed her eyes and concentrated more on brilliant music than unanswered questions never to be answered. It was much more soothing on a night's bus ride.
