This blog will hopefully contain a mix of short writings and stories. Each short story is part of a larger whole that the reader has the opportunity to create. One only gets a single perspective through which to view one's life, and must either abstract or create a story for the rest.

Today I read in a park on a bench near a waterfall. Six dogs passed over the course of an hour. I knew the facts of what the people looked like who walked with each dog, whether the owner walked the dog or the dog the owner, if the owner talked to the dog or herself. The story of why the couple with the Sierra Mist shirts desired to own the dog was kept hidden as they strolled past. So it's up for me to write their story.
