LJ Idol 1: Empty Gestures

[unsold_capacity]

I opened my eyes and looked up from the tepid bathwater. The shower head was so far away from this angle, so tall and alien against the caked white tiles and the heavy sway of the neon green shower curtain. I shifted my knees so the exposed parts of my body submerged, and listened to the lazy, sterile ripples of water echo around the tiny chamber

Very interesting. I'm not so sure this technology isn't controled by some cosmic force. lol How can you put metal and plastic together and make it talk, or show things. It is pretty odd.

I get this way sometimes, where I just look at things and they seem to lose all meaning that is describable.

I am curious about your story now!

Whoa, that was fascinating.

Very interesting...a different but refreshing take on the topic.

This was really cool. That's how I feel a lot of the time. I look at the objects that surround me and ask myself what they really are, why I have them, and why I feel that I need them. My favorite things are the things that would be understood by my ancestors.

I also loved the final sentence. It was a great ending to the piece, and brought a sense of relief after the panic.
