Begging Off Again

Posted on September 15, 2003 in Book of Days

Note: This is part of a series based on exercises from A Writer’s Book of Days. It’s something of a rebellion against the Friday Five and similar tupperware content memes.

Today’s topic: “For as long as she lives, and probably longer, she will never forget his face.” (after Alison Moore)

I could write on this topic from a male perspective (For as long as he lives, and probably longer, he will never forget his/her face) but not tonight. Yes, I’m wimping out again. I came home from a writing discussion group and I am feeling high, happy even. Tonight is not for painful remembrance.

Or is it just me who sees the topic as referring to captivity and violence, especially rape?
