Fiction Friday: From Now On
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Charlie’s mirror shows him a teenage boy with disheveled hair, mismatched shirt and pants, scuffed shoes, worn jacket. I’ll save my tips and change that, he thinks.

Humming as he walks to his first gig, Charlie deems the clouds lucky instead of gloomy, and decides to introduce himself as Charles from now on.

Taken with a point-and-shoot camera, a few years ago; no tripod.

Again, this photo was taken with the camera on a tripod. Obviously, I have a lot to learn. Still, the result isn’t too bad. Maybe. If you squint, again.
