one time I tried to enter this writing thing, but in the end, i didn't do it, couldn't think of any true stories.

story II:

this other time, I DID enter the thing, but i was disqualified, because none of the stories were false.

story III:

another time, different from the first two times, I wrote this long and transcendent story about the yearning of the heart for companionship, the way friendship glows like embers, and drifting in the sargasso of time, alone, shipwrecked. but it was too personal, and I couldn't bring myself to post it.
