Narrative sixteen part the one - a photo on Flickriver

            5x4 Quick sketch
Lucy had that way of looking both beautiful and tough that let me know that I would not be any good for her. At least not as promised by the end of countless movies. 
I was looking for a hanger for my jacket as it deserved better than merely the back of a chair. 
She was in the other room. I had said water would be fine but I swore that  I heard the pa-pop of a cork being pulled, echoing the cadence too of a thousand French waiters hitting three fingers against puffed out cheeks and  pursed lips in acknowledgment of their approval and that they will get on it right away. 
Motion creates the illusion of accomplishment. Sharks are over achievers. Something caught the corner of my eye. 
I had no idea where the light switch was and so decided to stand still and wait to see if it made its way into the strip of night sky that was spilling in through the ill placed window. 

She came in holding two glasses. With a laugh:
"What are you doing?" 
The light.  A long centipede slowly crawled along the horizon line where floor meets wall. 
It was all yellows and oranges with spots of molted black. There was a wet reddish piece of meat in its mouth which is managed to continue to carry. 
I shuddered and rapidly slapped both my shoulders in confirmation that nothing was on me.
Lucy too was transfixed.
"I cant believe I used to smoke those things."
