"Hey; how've you been? I mean, are you doing okay?"
"Well, yeah, for sure; but you keep acting like you've got more to say..."
"I did...I do! But I just need a few more minutes of your time..."
"Okay; like, sitting and talking was never a CRIME!"
"Not at work; not here. I meant another time and place."
"...What if my answer is, and I say this with love, GIVE ME SOME SPACE!"
"Okay; I understand that and I apologize for before..."
"...I've got work to do here; give me one good reason not to show you the door."
"...Are we friends?"
"Of course we are; THAT isn't about to end!"
"...Then isn't THAT reasoning good enough for you?"
"...Okay; you got me. THAT much is true."
"Look; I'm about to walk here and now. Just let me know of a better time to talk..."
"...Okay; I'll think about it. Enjoy your walk."
(I turn to leave and...)
"...Hey, buddy?"
"...You rang for me, lovey?"
"Thanks for your patience. Your efforts have been seen."
"...My friend, I can't thank you enough for your patience with me."
"...I'm sure I'll see you soon; and we WILL talk. Love ya, bud."
"...and I haven't forgotten my appreciation for YOU, my love..."

A Letter to the Firestarter
Dear Firestarter, We can all see you, we've been watching you since you began. In case you didn't know we were here before you and we will be here after. We witnessed your rise, your setbacks, your guilt and your lies. We witnessed you start the fire.

Off the Book
It ended like every other stupid idea. Badly, and alone. I’m researching digital confession ethics, he said. A tech ethicist. He gestured at floating data I couldn’t see then pulled out a physical notebook. Actual paper, fountain pen. He held it up like he was showing me scripture.
