The Little Black Book

Lost in a Dilemma Walking alongside a hill my gaze got fixed on the silhouette of a boy standing on the hilltop with a faraway look at the horizon beyond. Involuntarily I began climbing the cliff towards where the boy was standing. Walking, panting, walking, after a full ten minutes I reached to the spot. The figure in front of me was of a handsome young boy small built, dark black hair, skin tanned. He was wearing a yellow and black checkered shirt with denims. I approached to tap him he turned then, as though sensing my approach. His stare caught me unawares the eyes were stunning green with a dark depth to it I caught my breadth at his gaze. I asked "son would you mind if I shared this space with you?" He did not reply but turned his head away and continued looking to the horizon beyond.
