Day 88

It is said that words have great power.
They create, they destroy and they do so every day.
Those who know how to properly wield these words
are to be feared.

A man sits in a cluttered room, typing furiously.
Among the pages he has written are photos of a woman.
She does not know they are there.
She does not know they were ever taken.
The man knows.
The man knows.

She is dying you see.
Cancer.
The usual sob story with a twist.
The man is a writer and writers have power.
He will not, cannot let her die.
He will write her to live and she will live.

Her physical form grows weaker as his story draws to an end.
He is so close to saving her but her will to survive is too strong.
He won't let her die.
He will finish her story.
