"I have no idea how that got there. People keep leaving them I think."
"Really. Can I have one then?"
"Go ahead, my friend."
When I smoked it outside by the burrito cart I realized I'd never been in a butterfly's house before. Damn. Should have left something instead of taking. Then again. What could I possibly have that a shy, stay-at-home Butterfly girl would want?
Everything in her living room reflected her: her wings, her style, her person. Do I seriously envy a lonely bug? She had something though. Created a space in which she was completely herself. And that is pretty fucking hard to do.
Well done Annie! I really enjoyed the way you wrote this. I walked past this home at Terrain but I didn't see Butterfly Girl and I wished I would have.It would have been nice to talk to her about her intentions with this installment. Very unique and full of thought. Like you said, it's very hard to create a space where you can be completely yourself and manage to stay true to your character even among other people. I feel like we are always trying to change to fit in with our surroundings or always trying to be like other people. But I envy those people who can be totally themselves, 100% of the time.
