Challenge Rules: Put music library on shuffle and pair my top 10 ships with the first 10 songs. Each ship gets a story related to the song with decreasing times: ship #1 gets 10 min., ship #2 gets 9 min., ship #3 gets 8 min., etc. So ship #10 is a hot mess 1 min. panic attack.

You don't HAVE to listen to the song first...but you might want to.

Strange and Deranged

By: The Hat Potato

He couldn't help but be boggled. How she had chosen him, he may never know. How she had come back after such a definite ending, clinging to him like he was her last chance of survival.

But he certainly didn't mind.

He watched in wonder as she moved about the room.

Neat, sweet, and petite. His darling, Christine.

He could only imagine what she saw when she looked at him. The only reasonable explanation for her return is that something was quite wrong with her as well. No fully well mind would ever choose to be with someone like him.

Strange and Deranged. Her fallen angel.

But as he saw her smile up at him —happy and without care in the world— he couldn't help but feel like this was perfectly right. That opposites did attract.

And when she kissed him, pushing up onto the tips of her toes, he could feel how much she cared for him. Loved him, even.

It almost came close to scratching the surface of the incredible flood of adoration he felt for her.

Almost.

The End
