Imagination is truly yours and personally owned. I am a storyteller, and I had that knack since I was a kid. Mom and Dad would ask me, when I had a deer-in-the-headlights look, “What have you done?” I would spin a yarn or a story that was unbelievable enough, so they would shake their heads and say, “Is that so?” Mom would say, “You keep that up, and you will be either a writer or in a lot of trouble.” Then she would walk away, and Dad would ask what I had really done. He would say, “Well you didn’t hurt anyone, including yourself, so you’re lucky this time, but beware of Father Time, it’ll catch up with you!” I’ve never stopped spinning yarns with a mixture of truth. So, I’m going to tell you a slightly macabre story with intrigue, and a wish for the possibility it was true, IF ONLY!– Lawrence W. Anderson
