Drabble for Ellen
Inspired by this.
It’s hard to look at things and really see them, but somehow he manages. Perhaps it’s a sense of irony that keeps him going, it’s so delightfully appropriate that one who sees the most of life chooses to participate in it least. He doesn’t speak much; he doesn’t need to and when he does often as not he frightens the listeners with his ability to render them transparent. As such they have no use for him, it’s frightening to have someone see through you and know you in your entirety. What good is a man you can’t keep secrets from?
