About this story:
"The history of the Blue Man Group originates with three friends fresh out of college who made a life-defining decision together. Chris Wink, Phil Stanton, and Matt Goldman determined they would achieve lives of meaning and purpose, forging their own road, following their own path.
"When their creative impulses led them to develop a bald and blue character they called Blue Man (to evoke the word 'human'), more than a few people raised eyebrows. Undeterred, the partners invested their time and resources into following this curious character into a small theatre in New York City. What transpired was a ground-breaking performance that moved and inspired audiences. This unprecedented theatrical success led to ongoing accolades, awards, and genre-jumping opportunities.
https://www.blueman.com/about-blue-man-groupWho here is a Blue Man Group fan? I am! And I've loved them since high school. I have been to a few of their concerts and it is quite an experience! I highly recommend going. Or at least listening to their music. It's a bunch of fun! If you choose to watch the video I have included, the song itself starts around three minutes in (the first part is the men having some fun). As for the story, it is really short. What? It is a short story challenge. The song, when you listen to it, is mostly music. Sounds that create emotion. Despite the words, I led with the emotion. I wanted to embrace the feeling of love and trying something new. Now, some people might take the whole "I feel love" theme of the song and make something sexual out of it. I went a different route. Who likes fruit? I thought it would be funny to have the reader believe that the person experiencing this immense love be for something as silly as a little fruit. Read and enjoy!
Title: Nectar
I have never experienced this sensation before. It was so good! What would a normal person call it? Love perhaps? Am I feeling love? I'm not sure. Could this emotion be that strong? Letting that word fall freely between us. Just me and this wonderful freefall into bliss. All I did was have a little taste. Let my tongue savor that sweet nectar. But what should I do? If the others find out, would they try to take it away? Laugh at me? Make fun of me? Finish this before it began? But, I think I've fallen in love. That is the only answer to what I felt. The feel of the soft skin against my fingers, the warmth I feel when I see that color, I didn't know that one bite would cause this. All I can think about is the nectar from that fruit and how I wanted more. Reaching out, I grabbed the spoon, scooping more peaches on to my plate. "I guess you like them, huh?" Stuffing a forkful into my mouth, I smiled at her. Who knew trying something new would be love at first taste?Lyrics:
