The writer imagines a reader, the one who desires to know the story, and the story behind the story, which is the writer’s own story. This imaginary reader, the one to whom the writer writes, is the writer reversed and inside out, reaching into the world, searching for one real reader, a living and breathing human being who wants to know the story, and the story behind the story – the writer’s story. Human connection!

Hey Anne,
Found this poem in one of Isaac’s boxes. Do you know anything about this woman? Did she really exist? Doubtful huh? 10,000 miles? Not sure anyone would travel 5 miles to visit a loon, except for social workers. Just being real, not mean. I’ve always loved our little brother, but his issues pushed everyone away.
Our ghost, Mr. Shrink, is back again. Poor Isaac!
Be careful, the paper is dried out. Looks like something chewed on it. Wash your hands afterwards!
Lizzy
