In my defense, I gave you the choice, and you clicked on 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.

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?
