Contemplation
Jack sits on a park bench, his head bent over a large antique looking tome. Somewhere nearby a black cat is teasing squirrels, prowling in the upper branches of the trees and setting the birds off to scolding. Jack glances upward with a faint smile before looking back at his book for a moment ( Read more... ) -

The taste of Blue
A sidewalk cafe, men and women walk past with barely a glance to the cat who sits on the side of the table with a saucer of creme and a plate of caviar. Well, perhaps a few of them look askance at the expense of treating a pet to caviar, not as many as you would expect ( Read more... ) -

Jack is sitting on the porch swing in front of his house, the feline Mary purring in his lap as he occasionally remembers to stroke her ears. A book is in his free hand, thumb holding it open as he scans the type. The author is some King fellow, the tale of a man who in blackouts seems to be succumbing to his alter ego.

Perception: Generally speaking, how do you think others perceive you?
Killer. Murderer. Monster. Demon. Psycho. Serial Killer.
Jack closes the book and places it on the shelf with the others. He scans the next shelf, with his collection of movies, but none interest him enough to watch them today. Narcissism can only take a man so far when it comes to certain things, such as the truth ( Read more... )
