Chapter 1 - WHAT?!?

“You’re… you’re shining or something. It’s like you’ve been backlit…”

“What?”

“You. Are. Glimmering.”

Blank look.

“You know, glimmering: to emit a faint or intermittent light? Shining, radiant, sparkling, sunny, apple-pie, snowy, stainless, unspoiled, clarion, luminous, bright, beaming, brilliant, fluorescent, incandescent, dazzling, glowing, glistening, gleaming, illllllllllllll-ustrious!!! Adumbration?!?”
