The Thrill of the Hunt

A.J. Longabaugh

    While sitting she looks recognizably different. She smiles in my direction and makes a moment out of eye contact. She looks like an Allison but I can tell her name is Catelynn; Catelynn with a “C” and not with a “K,” guarantee it. The way she blinks gives it away. Every time her eyes close for that brief moment for condensation to gloss them, she is in full control. The timing from when the top lid reaches the bottom lid is choreographed perfectly to the pace of her breathing.

    She makes another moment, this time with an obvious curiosity as she adjusts the volume on her iTunes to a more inviting level of noise. They say that the kill is never greater than the thrill of the hunt. This is the third opportunity in the past week I’ve had the chance to recognize beauty out loud.
