The grapevine has brought to my ears news that an acquaintance of mine is separating from her husband. Another family falls victim to the relentlessness of our modern pressures and expectations, and our diminished sense of commitment and dedication.
A tragedy, for them and for their child. And a shock; they seemed like the last couple who would split.
And yet..
Part of me weaves their story into my constantly operating fantasy mill, material that blends in all the easier since I may already have brought the spouse into the mill. A light initial introduction, yet his newly available status will feed the fantasy machinery more regularly now.
Maybe I need to write another story.
