Description
The time: the not too distant past.
The place: Anytown, USA
Meet Benny, an ordinary enough boy of 15 years of age. Ordinary that is in most respects. You see Benny has a gift, or a curse depending on one's perspective. You see Benny is like nothing you've ever known. Women of all ages seem to be attracted to him like moths to a flame. But when asked, none of them could give you a specific reason as to why. Males find themselves repulsed by the same attraction, often questioning why they are drawn to him, and hating that they are. He always knows the right things to say in any situation, calming frayed nerves, quelling disputes and fights, boosting confidence... whatever the situation he seemed to be able to give all the right advice. You would think with this unique gift he would be the most popular guy in school let alone in his small community. So, why is it that he spends all his time alone in the attic of his house, isolating himself from even his own parents?
We will learn more as the story unfolds.

I just knew you'd get this set :) So glad to see it's inspired you to write a story, Seth! You've got us hooked now. This is a most interesting boy. Carry on....
A very emotionnal story and image, this young man seems to be very lonely at home, I'm waiting for the following of this story! Excellent, Seth!

Looks realy very beautiful but also very sad!
Looks great!
benny looks sad
Promising begin
The story sounds interesting. Perhaps he is used as medium. Or he is blessed with a gift that turns out to be a curse for him. I'm excited. To your picture. Benny is lonely, although all people feel drawn to him. The telescope indicates contact with aliens and longing. You've piqued my interest.
Intriguing start of a story there, Seth. The image captures teh mood perfectly as well. Want to see more of it.
Beautiful story and image.. great work my friend :))
If the word at the top are anything to go by. this is going to be one hell of a GOOD story. P.S outstanding image :-)

Great render and work Seth, love your dark artwork.
I love your very intriguing story Seth...please let me know when you post more...(I seem to miss allot grrr). Excellent image, work and composition!!
It's impossible to be everything to everyone, trying to be just breeds Jealousy and Contempt from some. Cool stuff Man Peace
I know... he's a wizard! :-) This is a great render! Very emotional.
marvelous artwork and good story
So far he reminds me of my roommate back in college, who went on to be a successful politician in Virginia. I suspect Benny may run for president one day given his gift and demeanor.
intriguing start and the lost moments fit right in.
