Ravenous

Truth told, happiness was the furthest emotion from my mind and heart because of Michael’s identification of Kevin Bakerton. I couldn’t remove the chaos from my mind, caught up in facts about the man. Slumberous, not at all myself, and feeling as if a wrecking ball had smashed through my heart, splattering it against the closest slab of cement, I decided to try and prove Michael wrong, disbelieving Kevin’s identity.


As the morning slipped into noon, I Googled everything I could concerning Kevin Bakerton. Unsurprising, he was as real as Michael detailed him.


Of course, Kevin Bakerton could have passed as the Kevin Balk I had slept with since both men had the same aquamarine-colored eyes, blond hair, and five-eleven frames. Each picture discovered and studied proved the two could have been brothers or even twins.
