A love for the new age

Genre: Romance
Prompt: Fungus
Time: 30 minutes

She is a tall and graceful thing. Her movements are slow and deliberate. She is willowy. She flows. Delicate is a word he uses to describe her. And persistent.

When he looks at her, he does not see what others do. He does not dwell on the fact that she does not have eyes or a nose, or a face. He does not mind that her delicate limbs must remain bare, for the weight of clothing will bruise her. He does not mind that even he can only touch her sparingly and delicately. He does not mind that she prefers the dark.

Tall and graceful, slow and deliberate, willowy, flowing, delicate. Persistent. An alien. A fungus.

He could not love her more.
