Well you see, my skin melted into a lot of things last summer. Even my bones mixed with a few.
The fact that everything became a liquid river passing around my ankles didn't help. Time became a cloud that a giant walks through on his way to get food.
My stomach and head got a little sea-sick on this voyage. Their ears never really popped from this altitude. My body shivered from the OD. My skin burned and melted with him. Trees grabbed my hair, leaves stained my cheeks.
I had rotten skin for bones and cracked ribcages for flesh. The rivers were fire and the fish rocks of ice. A beast by my side through hellfire. Her eyes were marbles. Her flesh cracked glass. Her hands were iseicles. Ripped tendons looking like dreads hanging from her head.
But this is only how she looked in Neverland. In my geometry class you never would of guessed she bent time around her fingers, squished it into liquid, painted her nails with it.
Everything is liquid with her. She could turn you into fine wine or a **** stain on the pants of a scared kindergartner.
Walking into her house the walls are mallible black fur. They'll nick your change out of your pockets. One time it ****** her dad into it. She said he hasn't emerged in 5 days. "He's changed." She says. "He said it's a way to Neverland but, mom says he comes home smelling like Narnia." She whispered.
They had eyes. The walls. I could hear them churning. Black liquid that gurgled and popped like an exploding guinea pig in the microwave. The fur moved like legs on a centipede.
Everything got mixed up and colors stopped looking the same.
I stayed over at her house one night, and I swear to God faries came.
They called my beast a pirate. Said she's been off duty too long. They thought I was asleep. In the morning we walked out her door and we fell into the sky. We fell through time. The world became white and black.
We landed in the ocean, emerging through the sand. She became a new kind of being. Her eyes were 8-*****. Hair, blue fire, and her skin was moving black smoke.
She said I looked like something she could get addicted to.
One night I found my hand melted in her hair, my hip bones became Lego pieces stuck to hers. Fingers mashed in places they couldn't be seen. Her eyes kept answering my question of "should I keep going" with "**** yes". Her mouth stretched smoke that you could lose your mind in. Her body a maze that I couldn't wait to figure out. We grew gills and kept breathing each other in.
She said it was a solstice one night as we got lost in seaweed. I asked her what that meant. Before I knew it, the ocean ****** us up and the sky spit us out and we fell with the rain. We were hail being delivered with drumrolling thunder and lightning.
We didn't return to "Earthly" beings. We stayed in the flooded streets, gills still only needing the other.
She said she had to return to Neverland, but she wasn't sure if I could go.
We'd find out soon enough. Just how, do we get there? She pointed to a sky scraper. Her see through fingers found my skin. She said my eyes looked like black holes, my skin had the milkyway trapped beneath it.
Hopping from rain drop to rain drop we got to the top of that building.
We had to wait until sunrise. She told me the grass is smooth like the seaweed where we're going.
That my blood would look like northern lights. My mundane mind wouldn't exist, I wouldn't feel dead anymore. She said we'd be like Bonnie and Clyde.
When the sun peeked at our side of the earth she told me I might not pass through. She said that might be her case too.
She said we'd find Neverland if we jumped off of that building. But all we found was our bones infused in the concrete.
