Read An Obsidian Sky Page 20


  In this new world so many strange things had happened. It was therefore not so strange for me to find that an envelope had appeared in my hand. I had not been aware of anyone placing it in my grasp. I smelt the paper and it was crisp and fresh. I had always loved the smell. Where I had come from? There were so few trees. Books and paper based literature were things that were held in museums, something regarded with almost divine reverence. I opened its folded creases and was transported into another world.

  I saw the girl who had written it. The words on the page seemed to hint at who she might have been. I imagined that light shone through her hair and created a spider web of patterns. I saw her hand move with such dexterity as it traced her innermost thoughts onto the paper. She was happy and yet frail at the same time. I did not know this from looking at her, for there was little I could see, but I surely felt it. I saw her as if through a camera, fixed upon a single position, determined by some director. I saw her write and I saw her writing.
