At the Intersection of Fiction & Reality

Oddly, in my case, it's yes and no. In most cases, I am unable to escape the shadows and memories of how I constructed it. But if it's old enough, I can sometimes surprise myself. The minutiae have faded: all I have is the overview, much as if I'm reading a book on a familiar them but by someone else. It's a curious experience -- it's rather like been shown a photograph of yourself taken years before but which you've never seen before.
