Long dark as night hair swept around her face, with long black lashes and blue eyes glowing. She had soft, large, pink lips with cheeks the same color and her skin was the color of a creamy, white milk.

The picture of me is from my job. I never had my picture taken that I can remember. Only once has my picture been taken but that was when I was a child. My twenty-third birthday is three months away yet this is the first photo I have taken prior to my childhood. I stop staring at the image of myself back towards my computer's screen. My screensaver of Paper, Pen, and Ink.
     Paper was the color of parchment that you would find on old scripts, with black speckles covering him, except for his blaze that runs down his head, with black eyes, and black streaks in his flaxen mane and streaming tail. Paper, my horse, comes galavanting when I press my lips together then letting out a shrill, deafening whistle, lasting a minute or so, he tends to be playing the heroic steed.
     Pen with her short coat of silver which looks like a shimmering star with dark black laced around her eyes, nose, ears, tail, and paws. Pen, my cat, lives on the vacant bookshelves the from when she evicted the stories that once called them home. Only Pen would send books tumbling onto my computers, bed, desk, and everywhere the books possibly could land would. She knows that I won't ever bother putting the books back, dam that smart cat.
     Now Ink is my other cat, the brother of Pen. Ink with his mild, deep blue coat that seems like it was ripped from the sky at midnight and draped around a perfect kitten. Never the less the silver eyes that can make me feel better about anything were bestowed on him. Yet, he was ungraceful and clumsy in the air unlike Pen.
     My family was with them, my family is them. I had to earn them as they earned me. I love them all deeply even when they may come crashing down at anytime, I will always try my hardest to catch them before they hit the ground. I seem ridiculous but I don't want them to fall to the ground like I did, they deserve to fly high. Yeah, I am ridiculous.
