AN: This is a project I've thought about for a while as a way to challenge myself to do something different, something out of my comfort zone. It will be one chapter per episode, starting from the beginning, written in verse form. I guess I could call it "MJ's BONES Odyssey?" :-) Anyway, we'll see how it goes.

*PILOT*

So close, she felt the whisper of his breath
with the words he spoke.
So close, her cheek was warmed
by the heat of a hand resting on a wall.
A life spent observing
. . . watching
. . . . . . studying
discovered a new focus.
.
"My most meaningful relationships
are with dead people"
A confession to a friend
an unknown fear given voice.
The solution, the same
. . . share
. . . . . . reveal
Small steps into what could be.
.
A cosmic balance sheet
heavy with lives taken.
Weight on a soul,
pain in a heart,
scars visible to one who looked
. . . wondering
. . . . . . pondering
Small steps hidden in choices made.
.
So close, tomorrow
and a life to be lived.
So close, a future
as yet undreamed.
So close, the steps taken
. . . together
. . . . . . separately
Until the distance closes.

(I realize this might not be everyone's cuppa tea so feel free to think 'meh' and pass. That's the great thing about fanfiction - there's something for everyone! Thanks for reading!)
