This is for TFiOS. A short story inspired by the book. I hope John Green reads it someday. Peacock is a brunette braider. Mostly she scribbles, looks around and leaves a note. A flightless bird searching for wings. She is reading her late Grandmother's diary. Flick is a curious boy with curious blue eyes. He looks at the girl on the bench scribbling something and gets curious. He likes to flick a smile. Together Peacock and Flick go through the pages of an old blue notebook and fall in love along the edge of word and relive the lives of those they read about. Its more than just a love story, it's more about how the world has the same pace, the same casualties, the same white roses, the same curious minds, the same heartbeat accelerating adventures even when time is not the same. It's more about how people can be so much same without even being same. It's love a little backwards and love a little forward. It's less than a love story and more a self discovery coming of age short story. MY NOTE: steal it, i'll burn down your house and build a library. No kidding. If it wasn't illegal. *you'll be the next character in my book to die... slowly... and ruthlessly*
