You’ve made it! Welcome

In my defense, I did ask if you were sure, and you clicked the button anyway.

Sit down and let's get to know each other.

My name is...

Well, my name is...

I have been calling myself so many things lately that it's getting a little hard to keep up. For the sake of this interaction, you can call me Melanie.

Melanie.

It sounds inconspicuous, not really doing much. Just hanging out.

Now that we're all relaxed, I guess I should start by saying that this is not our first introduction. There is a chance I might already know your name, but if that's true, then it is also true that I have completely forgotten what it is...

At least for now.

My mind has a mind of its own. At a certain point, I've learned to just go with it.

Where were we?

Ah, yes. Take a seat right here and let me get a look at you.

I can see your impatience. You're asking me to hurry this along. But I am not the one doing this. You're the writer. So why don't you hurry along and jump into the story?

I have already showed you where pen and paper don’t work  in this situation, yet you refused to listen. If you have to learn this lesson again I am not sure how much of you will make it out unscathe. You have been here before. In this very moment trying to escape a world that you have created. 

Playing this game of  war and victory so that you can avoid this moment. The moment where you face the truth. The place you have been trying to escape hasn’t been physical since the day that you packed your bag and promised to never return. 

Do you remember?
