A Human... Being
Synopsis "A Human... Being"
"What's your name?" "Xander. What's yours?" "I'm Serenity," she said, sipping her drink. Serenity. What a perfect name, Xander thought. He looked again at the tranquil blue energy cloud surrounding her. His own cloud was similar to hers in that it was mostly blue, but it contained hints of other colors at times. His also moved slowly, but not as slowly or as gracefully as Serenity's. "So, you can see them, too," she stated. "Energy clouds? Yes, I can see them, too," he answered, breaking his stare at her cloud. He remembered her admitting to seeing his energy cloud when they first met at the pool ten years ago. She probably doesn't even remember me from there, he thought, but maybe she does from the ice cream shop. That was only a couple of years ago. "I do remember you. We saw each other at the pool and at the ice cream shop." Xander could feel his heart beating hard in his chest. Did she just read my thoughts? he wondered. "Energy clouds. Hmm," Serenity said, pondering the term. "I like it... but I call them auras."
