Documentation.

My job is to tell stories.

I write them down. I feel them.

Except, they aren’t stories.

I feel them as they happen.

My job is to document them.

Everything needs to be documented, to keep our archives complete.

So, I document every single story.

That is how they chose to punish the author, who must beg of the reader to indulge her. The author must beg of the reader to believe. I beg of you to feel what I feel, and feel what they felt.
