First blog?

Why yes, I think it is.

What better way to start off then with a shot "story" (more like a descriptive paragraph, soon to be story). Here goes nothing,

The Dying Patient
He watched as the clouds parted to allow a single beam of moonlight to shine through. It creeped through the hospital window, made its way across the floor, and illuminated the face that belonged to the dying patient. The moonlight caressed her skin and seemed to accentuate not her sickness, but the hidden beauty that the sickness marred. Her eyes looked less sunken, her cheeks less hollow, her skin less pasty, and her face more lively. She stirred in her sleep and cried out. He instinctively grabbed her frail hand and held on. Outside, the clouds covered the moon’s brilliance once again, leaving the room with nothing but darkness.

Inspired by my great aunt. :)

I like adjectives and words that make me seem smarter than I am.
