Sixth Plate

SEATED CALMLY . . . But still, can’t you also feel the apprehension that creeped into the lad’s expression and his body language while his refurbished sixth plate was done? He literally leaps away from the darkness around him when the cover of a separated leather case is removed. The pad inside was embossed with a butterfly. Light red pigment accentuated his cheeks. That very fancy neck cloth was perforated and attached inside his shirt collar over a dark bowtie. Very curious to my eyes. That was not a flower on his lapel, rather a large mold spider. There are many specks and flecks around the boy and a couple brown dots on his hands. The highlights on the glossy edges of his chair defined the outline of the furniture.
