07 – Flight of Fancy


It was when he had his body back, that Al discovered the delights of drawing. Most of all he loved drawing people, women all dolled up walking down the street, the old men watching how their dresses nip in tightly and sweetly around their waists and the young men who watch with new eyes to the world. He never ever considered drawing nude, until it was recommended by his art teacher, then he couldn't get enough of the classes. Al didn't care if the subject was young or old, only that it was flesh and alive, he loved watching the draw of their breath and the sag of the skin. This was true beauty, the ability to live and be able to live, to age and grow and change.
