This is my first drabble. Just getting to know the feeling of the writing, nothing serious. Please review, so I can make better stories. If you guys think it's okay, I can try to make a story of this drabble… Oh and sorry for my bad english..
The words of the world.
Peck wasn't of the world. Yeah, he wanted to be. He always envied the other boys of his age. Having stuff he didn't have. Material stuff, like bikes and walk man's, but most important, stuff you can't see, like family and friendship. But he, Templeton Peck, was just a bystander of the world. Living in an orphanage makes you different, you watch the 'normal' people from another place. You see their happiness, but also their worries and fears about things that you don't have. When you live at an orphanage all you can have are your hopes and dreams. Hopes and dreams aren't of the world, they float on clouds, high above the world. You don't know for sure if you can live on clouds. Not until you try it. You never know if your hopes or dreams come true. Only when you try to live up to them.
But Peck didn't want to live on clouds. He didn't want to only have hopes and dreams. He wanted to be of the world, to have stuff he didn't. He was 15 years old now and he wanted to do something about it. But you don't just jump of your cloud, and land in on the world. But there was a connection between the world and the clouds. It was the power of words. The world greatest weakness were words. The world is built on words, communication. Without them, it wouldn't exist like it was nowadays. And with words you could achieve almost anything. And a smile of course. The art of seducing mankind, if you could find the weakness of a man, you could let him do anything you want. But you have to be skillful. It was like a form of art. The art of conning. And Peck was good at it…
