going on in my head, something I can't explain or understand and no matter what I do, it's coming. The cloaked figure promised the truth yet I am cautious, terrified at what all this could mean as today becomes a day I will never forget, one that has changed me forever. Somehow this creature knew me, but I can't help but wonder how any of this is possible and who the hell is Vexicus?
Still not a hundred percent collected I glance at the time on my phone and realize its 7:19 P.M. and I have an art show to attend. Climbing to my feet, I wipe my face full of tears with my sleeve and turn to head back into the gallery, hopefully on time. As I walk through the rear emergency exit I see the gallery is now filled with people from all walks of life. Very pleased with the turn out, I watch the crowds of people gather amongst the paintings discussing ideas and general opinions about the different works on display. As I scan the faces I hear a voice from my right side. "There you are! Where have you been? I've been looking all over for you Ash, you had me worried!" Angela says.
"Sorry babe, I just needed some air and a little alone time. Didn't mean to make you worry."
"So many of our friends have come, your gonna' have so much fun baby." Angela says with enthusiastic excitement. "You deserve every second of this!"
A man emerges from the crowd and walks up to Angela and I. "Hey Ash buddy! Great to see you, man this show is amazing. You and Kalden are so talented. I can see what you've been working so hard on now. This is absolutely mind-blowing."
"Hey there Dave, glad you could make it. Where's Naomi?" I ask, glad to see my good friend.
David Livingston and his wife Naomi are very close to my family and great friends to Angela and I. David has always been real supportive of my artwork, constantly trying to purchase my latest work before anyone even has a chance to see it. A great man and even better father, I'm sure I could stand to learn a thing or two from him. He has a two-year-old daughter named Michelle and she already has quite the personality. Their daughter is the most adorable little girl a quarter Japanese, after her mother who was born and raised in Japan. Angela and Naomi are like two peas in a pod, especially when it comes to drinking wine but thankfully I won't have to worry about that one for a while.
"Naomi's running around here somewhere. You know it was such a pain in the ass finding a sitter tonight, but we got one just in the nick of time." David says with a laugh.
"Oh great, I'm gonna' go find her, its been ages since we've gossiped. I'll be back in a flash babe, don't go anywhere this time." Angela scolds as she runs off to find Naomi.
"Ok, ok! I'll stay inside the building this time. Hey Dave, have you seen Jason or Greg anywhere, I sent out their invitations weeks ago. I'm sure they're here already, you know, always ahead of schedule."
Jason Scott and Greg Knight, my two best buds are the guys I can be myself around. Enlisted in the United States Marines, I believe they are some form of Special Forces. Jason is a First Lieutenant and Greg, a Second Lieutenant having made a career with the military. Both are bachelors very clean cut, definitely guys whom I differ from yet our friendship is strongly defined. We met years back and have managed to become quite the tripod together. I know they are great guys and pretty high up in the chain of command, but we leave work where it belongs.
"I saw Knight in the other room, so I'm sure Jason can't be too far. I'm gonna' check out the rest of the show Ash and make my way back over to Naomi, I'll catch ya' later." Dave says shaking my hand and heading off.
Exiting Exhibit Hall One I head over to Exhibit Hall Two, Nightmares of the Cosmos. As I enter the room the majority of the lighting is set on the outline of the room where the paintings hang. The light dimming as you enter the center of the room, to a much darker
