DESCRIBING PEOPLE

DESCRIBING PEOPLE

By sarrah kaliski

DESCRIBING PEOPLE peels back a person's mask, overlooks our judgments, and gives a glimpse into the reality and the fiction of what makes them who they are. Some call it a character sketch, but here it is just describing a person.
This is a work of fiction. Or is it?

Written and hosted by the writer Sarrah Kaliski.

ALLISON AUSTEN

Reminders can either suck or are awesome. For Allison Austen the reminder by the door and the one in the mirror were ones she wished she could forget. But are reminders so bad? Even the ones that remind us about the times we would rather forget? Also, who doesn’t enjoy a good shoe-throwing and scissor happiness?

JONAS EDELMAN

The hidden, unspoken language that was birthed before we invented languages. When we grunted and pointed, waved our arms and did not listen to podcasts. It’s a language we are birthed with. The language of the Inner. Jonas Edelman would think this is ridiculous, and you might too.

NORA LONG

NORA LONG

We, humans, have this need to label everything we come across. Maybe it’s evolutionary, instinctual, or taught, but it’s there. We see, label, and move on. Even, and especially, with our own self. Nora Long and her outward appearance had always been questioned, needing a label. But we, as she did, forget that we have a spark in each of our true self, and is not found in our image or life, but in the core of our being. Sometimes a just takes one thing for us to remember it again. ——— Song: “Sullen Faced” by Ketsa To hear more of his music please check out: http://ketsamusic.com// Intro music: “Metro is Breathing” by Kosta T.
