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.

Poor B. Like being 15 isn't enough to give anyone the blues. I can't wait to see what his issue is.
Beautiful work!
excellent work erland
very imaginative and fitting mood to project

Sounds like you've set their mouths for a gourmet feast. I, too, am intrigued and can't wait for more. You depicted the loneliness and separate-ness of this boy in this picture, perhaps wishing he could be part of the crowd but stands apart while viewing the crowd with distaste. Quite a contradictory set of emotions and is no wonder that being alone is the only way to cope. My heart goes out to him. OXOXOXOX Jane
fabulous image and story

Maybe the telescope will find Atlantis, or Changri-La, or maybe the best place to establish the new one. Well done.

Intriguing Seth...Benny is lost in his own, or everyone else's thoughts! Going to be an interesting story!
Looking forward to yet another of your stories and more than just a little curios as to whether you top this render during the course of the series. Beautiful, moody and dramatic work!
Dark and intriguing...
There is always a dark side to every gift and in due proportion. So if he has a great gift of light he will be haunted by some very wicked dark demons for the blessing.
