One possible introduction for
shanns_ljidol Shann is one of those people who you meet on a bus, when the hour is so late and the road has been so long that you aren't entirely sure you're awake. Conversation passes with the same effortless slipping as the yellow stripes in the road, topics like the peaks and swoops of power lines and laughter like the headlights of passing cars.
You sit beside her and there are stories. She's telling them or you're telling them or perhaps they're happening in front of you, it's all going to be hard to distinguish tomorrow. There will be ink on both your hands, and pages torn out of the notebook, and the taste of coffee under your breath.
When she gets off, your roads diverging at a peeling yellow bus station deep in the woods, it won't be her name you remember as the bus pulls away, but the regret that your paths have parted there, and you continue on the highway, ignorant of where her road goes next.
Yes, here it is again, LJ Idol. This is a weekly journaling competition, and I am sure there will be voting.
