Some would say that Mr. Smugley isn't the same lizard seem previously. Just another one. They all look similar, right? Years ago, I worked in a ground floor office with a ceiling-to-floor window that took up one wall. It looked out on a parking lot, but landscaping bushes lined the window. The window also had a narrow outside ledge. The same anole sat on that ledge day after day. I knew it was the same one because he had a scar on his skin. Very unique. Shaped like a trapezoid and the color of light brown sugar. He was my daily companion for two years. Then, one day, he disappeared.

I was always a writer but lived in a bookkeeper’s body before I found Medium and broke free — well, almost. Working to work less and write more.
