Story Beginning

     This may or may not end up being the beginning to my novel.

     Angels. 

     You know, at the time, I thought it was crazy. There certainly wasn't any history associated with angels, just like there wasn't magic and prancing unicorns. No sir. Honestly, I thought my brother had lost his once very capable brains when he said they were “real”. 

     We were on a video call with my older, and only, brother Alec. He goes to college in California so we hadn't seen him for months, and he decided to tell us about his new obsession with angels of all things. I thought it was absolutely ridiculous until my parents went pale and exchanged a meaningful glance. Then, I felt a little left out. 

      Needless to say,  I don't feel left out in the slightest anymore. You know, I might even feel a little bit left in. But, maybe you feel like I did that first day. Maybe you think this is ridiculous, but let me assure you, it's anything but.
