STORY

Can I write a short story about you?

Something quick

but resonant

something which captures your characteristics

construes qualities that sometimes lie

beneath the surface?

Can I put you in situations

that might seem unpleasant

but would make you grow

- fictionally -

into a heroic, beautiful

complete creation?

Can I write your life?

Make you something unlike the real you

but still, somehow true?

Can I make something fresh

from the materials you've already given me

so generously

so unwittingly?

Can I take from you

but make something new?

Please,

will you allow me to do this?
