If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, (even if we don’t speak often) please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me.
It can be anything you want – good or bad – BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE.
When you’re finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people DON’T ACTUALLY remember about you.
That hits pretty close to a real event. I confronted the man in an arguing couple. She was saying “go away,” and he kept on. Chris W. and I blocked both of them in to the garden below the library, and told him to go away… that we weren’t leaving until he did.
He started to get pissed at us, and I said, “hey, the lady don’t want your attention right now. That’s why we’re helping you both.”
The wind went out of him, and then she said, “no, it’s OK. We’re together. You can leave us, and he’ll be OK.”
I sure hope they were.
