Disclaimer: It doesn't really refer to specific people, but no, the characters of Eoin Colfer, are not mine.


Touch

They were like magnets. North and South. Complete polar opposites, so different but yet were drawn, almost inexplicably, together. But there was also something holding them back: a force nearly too strong to fight.

But sometimes they did touch, if just for fleeting moment. But just as quickly, both would pull back, afraid and wary, perhaps, of their own touch, of their own emotions.

They were far apart, too. Like the poles of the earth that longed to be together but were confined to their opposite sides. It was a silent longing, one not often expressed, but one that was meant to be confined, also. Confined in the heart.

And they touched. But life went on.


Again, I didn't mention by name any characters so it can refer to multiple people. But I got the idea for this from Artemis and Holly, I noticed how for most of the books anyways, they rarely touch. Like in TEC, when Artemis saw her, reread that part. It's weird that I noticed that. But I guess, you notice weird things while procrastinating.

Okay, now this is really my last update for a while now.
