Andy: In Memoriam

Rate It: + / -   Current Rating: 0

Today is my father's birthday.

Or would have been.

I shot him in his sleep six years ago.

He made my life shit. The way he touched me, told me never to tell. The way he made me hate myself and anyone who wanted to get close to me.

Dr. Shelton said remember and I remembered and she asked was I sure and I said yes and she said that's good and I cried.

I know I was wrong.

My father loved me.

Dr. Shelton is trying to get me out. She says it could take years.

I'm sorry, Daddy.

Not sure I want to know how you came up with this one.

Lots and lots of mind mapping to look for themes, melding said themes into a storyline, and then writing, re-writing, and writing again, ending up with something totally different from where I thought it would go.

Remember, the key word is fiction.
