A
True Story
(that
I just made up
(with a little help from my conscience))
A writer is trying
to simply make up a story from her youth. Well,
okay, not exactly from her youth. And that’s
where the writer’s problems start. Her
Conscience won’t let her alone. It seems
that when a “goody two-shoes, ‘fraidy-cat”
tries to pretend she was something else in her
youth, the old truth-telling guilt still, decades
later, won’t relent. The war between fantasy
and conscience-driven real history leads to
a fun telling of what is, well, a true story…
that she just made up.
