okay. story one of one thousand.
the disappointment.
there are some things in life that just don't happen. like, peace in the middle east doesn't happen. and summer without rain doesn't happen. and the one thing that you've been waiting for never, ever happens. well, today my world was turned upside down. it happened. the impossible happened: i made someone. i didn't make someone happy, or make someone go home, or even make someone come; i just made someone. not in the frankenstein sense of making someone: hell no! i didn't go forraging around in swiss mortuaries for body parts (well, not this week anyway, they're a bit croweded with it coming up to hallow'een); but i got an idea. this idea grew into a person. this person: this girl: is enchanting. i'm caught up in a tangle of stars when i think of her...but...(there's always a but, isn't there)...she's not real. not in the physical 'i can touch you' sense of the word. she's up there in my head, she doesn't really have a name (but it might be leah) and she's better than a superhero. i think she's going to be the focus of all my stories henceforth, and in a way i think that she's already been in everything i've ever written. the storybook girl, the pond, ruby thinks, room....she's there. she's here now.
