Some people like the pure tones of pop, but to me it’s just gloss. There’s nothing behind it.
Give me the heart-wrenching gritty guts of blues or rock any day.
Not that A Crimson Kiss was written in a gritty way, but it sure was heart-wrenching.
And the kissing was incredibly passionate! I dreamed scenes from it at night,
waking some mornings still feeling the breathless transcendence of a perfectly delivered kiss.
Once I was fully awake, though, reality would strike. It was just a dream. Just a romantic fantasy.
Then one morning, I found a book on the kitchen table beside an empty bowl. (A bowl with telltale signs of midnight bingeing on chocolate ice cream.)
The book was splayed open, spine up, and the title was Welcome to a Better Life.
I looked it over as I ate my usual before-school bowl of cereal (in this case, Cheerios).
The section titles were things like: “Re-envision Your Life!”; “The Time Is NOW!”; “The Change Is Yours to Make!”;
“Living Your Best Life!”; “See It, Be It!”; “What Are You Waiting For?”; “Shift Your Paradigm!”; and “Four Steps to Living Your Fantasy!”
Four steps to living my fantasy? This I had to see.
