Random Sentences 1

I love this. It's so surreal and magical . . .

I'll show you the whole (tiny) story...

hmmm. is ben seeing the water or himself?

Amy said...

Good question Dixie. But since it's a nonfiction piece, I'm pretty sure the real Ben doesn't mean himself!;>

OK- well this is what I was thinking and now that I have read Amy's last comment it wont make any sense but... What if Ben had fallen into the pond and could clearly see the fishes and the bottom. Time had stopped-like frozen water-because he was dead.
Yeah, I know it's kinda cheesy but I never said I was a writer, just a functionally illiterate art director.

who's ben? the non-plot, she thickens. or maybe i'm just thick-headed.

Dork and Dixie,
These sentences are out of context, and while the whole piece is short, it's too long for the blog. Interesting ideas though...
