The Storyteller

His face suddenly awakened. His slightly stained teeth glared out through the stagnant smile and occasional chuckle. Wrinkles quickly flooded and faded across his forehead as if attacking those at the corners of his eyes - his face was full of movement - emotions.

And his hands - his hands were mesmerizing. In a split second they shot from head to toe expressing their own interpretation of the words bouncing from ear to ear. They, too, were full of emotion - audaciously breaking through the air all around him as he captivated his audience with colorful tales of life

With every detail accounted for, he cautiously abused his audience with stunning descriptions of the most mundane. They fell paralyzed into his world...his life...his beauty. They shared, they smiled, their eyes met with the most intimate intentions and then his face fell still. His hands found comfort on his lap The story had ended. They parted ways and were changed forever.
