I saw it there in the distance. A streak of luminescence in an otherwise dismal world. I hungered for it; staring unblinking. It moved closer – that brilliant glow. Holding out my hand, I touched the edge of his collar. It was then I realized, the light came from his soul.

Yes, it’s hard not to love a soul you can use as a flashlight when your lights go out. 😃 Thanks very much, Sakshi! I’ll contact you soon about your fine work that will be posted on SlasherMonster soon. xo

I think this bright light will come in handy when wanting to light up a dismal part of a closet or under the bed. 💡

Light can be tricky — you never know what lurks behind the glow…it could be an angler fish!

I sometimes get this annoying sing song quality in my voice when I’m reciting something. It’s a feat to try and avoid that. Thank you!
You’re right! Lol. Or it can be an electric eel. Run! or… Swim!!

Your pronunciation is clear and you don’t use filler words — those particular aspects of your speaking are acutely developed.
Electric eel! My favorite! Zap!

Thank you, bro! Here’s a Pink Lady: 🍎 (tosses it). Good catch. I remember how much you like eels. So bizarre.

No problem! I haven’t had one of those in a long time! I’m eating the organic green apples these days. Honeycrisp apples are also available, but they’re expensive.
Electric eels can mysteriously shock their victims without shocking themselves, and no one knows how they do it.

I’m sure the Pink Ladies are weeping for your attention and bites 😀
Electric eels just don’t shock easily, I guess!
