stories_vs_life's_experiences

Sometimes
it
takes
a
while
to
think
of
the
things
we've
experienced
as
'stories'
instead
of
our
lives
.
Looking
out
the
window
concentrating
on
The
three
stars
of
Orion
’s
belt
Sitting
in
a
car
Riding
,
not
driving
A
van
...not
car
Wrapped
in
a
sleeping
bag
On
the
way
home
Next
to
me
the
boy
who
I
’ve
been
crushing
on
since
as
long
as
I
can
remember
Eventually
I
fell
asleep
I
was
woken
up
by
the
two
in
the
front
I
was
almost
home
Almost
time
to
leave
the
warmth
of
the
sleeping
bag
The
driver
pulled
into
my
drive
...
I
gathered
my
things
I
had
to
reach
over
him
to
get
my
purse
He
was
sleeping
And
I
was
careful
not
to
wake
him
I
retrieved
my
purse
and
put
my
coat
on
I
no
longer
needed
the
sleeping
bag
So
I
placed
it
over
his
sleeping
body
And
tucked
him
in
They
only
had
a
few
miles
before
he
would
have
to
crawl
out
from
underneath
the
Sleeping
bag
But
I
wanted
him
to
be
warm
I
opened
the
van
door
And
walked
to
the
front
day
,
key
in
hand
And
I
went
to
my
room
Put
my
pj's
on
Forgetting
about
the
penny
that
had
been
in
my
pocket
Until
I
rediscovered
it
at
a
later
time
