Theme entry : Placing myself in a novel

I think I’d have to opt to put myself into the novel Mine. I would have to change the story to fit a male hero, of course. I’d want to be the mother of the stolen child. I guess I’d be the father, damnit.

Anyway, that mother had more courage than anyone I’ve ever read about, and I want so much to be like that. When she confronted Mary Terror, who had stolen her child, she called him “David”, which was the name she, the mother, had given him. Mary had changed his name to “Drummer”, and there was one explosive incident where the mother called him “David” and Mary kept repeating that his name was “Drummer”. Mary was holding a GUN on her, and this woman STILL says, “His name is DAVID!”

I was so proud of her. Afraid for her, too, but proud.

So that’s what novel I’d put myself into. One where I’d be a great mother who saved my child.

Yeah, it fits, doesn’t it? I think the Hero-wannabe-complex runs in my family.

My Mikey, I love you forever times PI cubed plus one,

Your Jack
