I refuse to explain myself on this one...
It was a lonely life he led.
He'd been alone in the pipes for so long he doubted anyone remembered him; a long discarded amputee. No one had a use for him any longer.
He'd stayed hidden all these years for fear of what fear would drive people to do. He was a nice guy, really. But no one could see that through their disgust. Isolation had kept him safe. But safety kept him alone. Utterly, bitterly alone.
In his old life, there'd been a man; a love. He could still remember, in perfect detail, his luscious, frosted lips and smooth, seductive voice. The man was the love of his life. For a while, he'd even visited his bowl. But that time had passed. His love had moved on, leaving him behind in the grime.
He'd seen many moons since then, and still he yearned for his moon.
That night when the boy had delivered that letter, he almost thought he'd see it again. That letter, professing a love so strong it knew no bounds was s o beautiful; so poetic, he thought surely it must come from him. Yet, to his disappointment, it was not his name scrawled across the bottom, but Cawlin's. No matter how beautiful the words were, they weren't his. They never would be. Who did this Cawlin boy think he was?
But the more he thought about it, the more he began to like it. Him or not, the words had him smitten. And Cawlin did seem to visit more often than most people...
The letter opened something deep inside him, awakening ghost emotions in an absent organ. And though it caused ghost heartache, it brought other feelings to the brim as well. A burning love for this Cawlin boy whose moon came so very often; whose way with words rivaled his and his alone.
It was this love that drove him from his bowl that night. But it was this love that sent him back. The world wasn't ready for their kind of love. And Cawlin was a fragile boy. So for Cawlin, he returned under the lid.
For Cawlin, he would wait.
"So, Taylor. What's your story about?"
"A severed hand living in the toilet who finally finds love."
"..."
"I will not apologize for art."
So on a scale from 1-10, 1 being normal, how weird was this?
Also can ? please be added as a character? Let the Caw?-shipping begin!
