The Grand Opening

“Excuse me!” Stacy kept her head down as she pushed through the crowd. She just had to be at the store’s grand opening. If only this had been winter, she could have hidden under a coat and hat until she got inside. Soon she’d be around people of her own kind, with similar interests, and they could talk without anyone gawking.

She stepped into the shop. In a moment lasting forever, she saw everyone stop talking, turning to look at her. Stacy blushed as red as the Star Trek uniform she wore.

“Trak, not Trek? Not a Star Trek store?”

Even the Ghosts

Spring breezes, autumn leaves
A child’s laughter, a puppy’s bark
Holding hands on the porch
Abandoned, forgotten
Even the ghosts have fled

Blue & White House, Sketch 146

I ran out of time on this sketch, while I was standing there. I was in a parking lot and people were lined up to get a space. Oh, the pressure. I decided not to finish it from the photo. I don’t know what I would have done if I had wanted to be an architect way back when. Learn how to draw by using a ruler, or software, these days.
