Yes, you.

You there...

(not you guys, of course, or you)

But you... yes you, looking over my shoulder as I write.

(and you too, faraway, but not invisible)

You think you know me? You think what I write here is the truth of me? The truth of us?

Pfft!

I can be anything... go anywhere... do anything... be anyone, here.

How would you know otherwise, really?

I can write any story, create any truth...

You'll believe what you want... read your own truth into whatever I write, but know this:

I write with the knowledge of you, there, always.

What you create from my stories is your truth, not mine... a mirror of what's inside you.

You've a very convenient window into what you imagine to be my world, but this is not my world. This is a story I tell to entertain myself.

Sometimes I write to entertain you... or to annoy you, maybe, just a little.

;-)

(Of course you know that, right?)

No, I don't think that I did really know that. And I must confess, I am just a little irked and miffed (he said, tongue firmly in cheek!)

Fantastic! What wit and wonder, Laura. And what an ingenious way to shake an audience from their stupor.
