    Invincible

    Sometimes, I’m unsure if it’s a dream or a nightmare. Nothing bad ever really happens, other than knowing how high up I’m drifting above New York City. I’m deathly afraid of heights though, and each time I awaken from the dream, I’m usually drenched in sweat with a racing pulse. Despite my fear of heights, I’m otherwise invincible.

    I reach up and click off the alarm as I right myself to sit on the edge of my bed, yawning and stretching the night’s slumber away. I rub the sleep from my eyes and stand donning only a black sports bra and yoga pants. I grab the television remote off the nightstand next to the alarm clock. I point it at the flatscreen TV that is playing Eternally Yours at a very low volume. I must’ve forgotten to activate the sleep timer last night. The TV powers off and disappears into the floorboard just beyond the foot of the bed.

    Padding into the bathroom, I regard my 32 year-old face in the mirror and begin the morning routine of brushing, flossing, plucking, showering, drying, applying, and readying myself for the day. A final glance in the mirror reveals a lone gray hair visible along the natural parting of my long brown hair. Frowning, I pick up my tweezers and carefully seize the unwanted offender between the tips and tear it from my scalp, root and all. I give myself a warning look before softening into a small smile, knowing that my looks have only deepened and improved with age.

    I search the huge walk-in closet for the day’s attire and settle on a pair of dark Saint Laurent jeans, black Laurence Dacade boots, and crisp Burberry Brit white long-sleeve button-up. Gazing out the window at the Park, I slide into my shirt and put on my Tag Heuer watch. The Park is quiet, but I know that as soon as I get in my car, the chaos of the morning rush hour awaits me.

    My purse and cell phone are accounted for as I head downstairs into the living area of my apartment where I contemplate making myself a quick breakfast. This huge and well-furnished apartment serves as a daily reminder of having everything I could ever want. Yet, there is still that growing concern that something isn’t quite in its right place. I’m still trying to figure out what’s missing. But for now, finding my racquetball equipment is my number one priority.

    1. Enjoyed your story even tho i know nothing of vanilla sky.This epihany that BETTE finally has regarding her company and the warning from a trusted friend makes for an enjoyable read.TINA appears to be the alter ego of BETTE the uncanny ability to read her and is spot on in that drawing.BETTE has some life altering/style changes to make so let’s see what happens becuz for a one off you left a lot unanswered yet it was thought provoking in a good way.

      • Thanks for your comment, Dunn! Perhaps not having seen the film makes for a better read, although I know what you mean by all the unanswered questions. Even though this is a one-off, I have not completely ruled out possibly coming back to it in the future for a follow-up. There’s no plan to do that right now, but it is always an option. I appreciate you taking the time to read it and offering your feedback!

      • Perhaps I prefer my readers not to have seen the movie. It’s definitely a weird one. But I thought these scenes of a hopeful budding relationship worked with Bette and Tina in those roles. Glad you liked it!

    2. Not seen Vanilla Sky but don’t feel it detracted from finding this story fascinating. I really enjoyed the read and hope that you do consider it as a base for more as this budding relationship between my favourite couple certainly has potential.

      Thanks

      • Don’t think I’ve ever had anyone comment that my stories were ‘fascinating’ so thank you for the compliment Sassy! A follow-up isn’t completely off the table, but just not actively in the works at present. Appreciate you taking the time to read.

    3. Waittttttt! No way!!! I love Vanilla Sky and the older one Abre los ojos! What can I say I can’t resist a naked Penelope Cruz (>ω< )!!!

      It wasn't THAT weird to me tbh, I freakin cracked up and cried my eyes out when Penelope said to Tom "I'll see you in another life when we're both cats."

      Ahhh old movie, good times! Didn't think I'd see the gay version of the story. Nicely done!

      • Hahahaha! I suppose the best reason to watch those films would be a naked Penelope. She’s not really my cup of tea, I’m more of a Salma Hayek fan, but she was great in these films. Like I said, I have a love/hate relationship with it. Thanks for reading, hope I did the story justice since you seem to be the only one who has seen the movie so far.

        MEEEEOOOOOWWW!

    4. yeeeeeeeeessssss….. you know how long I have agonised about seeing this piece come up…. I miss you my friend. I feel we have resumed our game of tag… you posted… I posted too! guees it’s your turn again ;0) xx

    5. Brilliant, as always, Mell. I have missed your amazing storytelling. I hope you will give us more, if not this story, something else. Oh wait!! Don’t you have something else you’re working on? Like just a chapter or two left? OMG, you do…. Yay!!
      Look forward to whatever you write.

      ps
      Salma Hayek? Nice.

      • Yes, Salma Hayek. I can’t quite put my finger on it (but I can definitely put my finger in it :p), but I have a thing for slightly older women. Just something about them I can’t get enough of. And thank you for your very kind words, even though they aren’t very subtle. I’ll try to write something or two somethings when I can.

    6. GREAT!!! I know and a like Vanilla Sky (with Tom Cruz and Penelope Cruz) . Vanilla Sky is a Hollywood remake of another great movie – the spanish movie “Abre Los Ojos” (with Penelope Cruz and Eduardo Noriega) And I like so much your story , Invincible with Bette and Tina :))) THANK YOU!!!

    7. I loved this new version of Vanilla Sky,
      I saw the movie however vaguely lenbro
      some scenes, it would be interesting if you
      continue to write its version.
      All Stars.
