day 7

Helen believes she is born for great things. A sufficient number of events and factors convinced her so:

She is the yoiungest child - having experienced and thought that she would avoid all the mistakes that her siblings and her old folks made, the privileged she has is that she will always be young enough to learn from those older than her.

She loves to act - and the passion for acting, convinces her that she can soar and perform at every given opportunity, any pedestal and the great outdoors; anterior to her inner workings of the mind will give her exactly the stage to do so.

She is convinced that her parents are the last persons she wants to be - they broke up and are divorced, convinced that they would waste no more of each other's time (and that their children are old enough).

She is pretty.

Her winning factor is her youth.

She moves to capture the moment of her glory.

We are given this unique opportunity to step into her life, seeing how it is that she makes the surface aspects of her life plainly obvious.

As she slides and glides to the stage that is her world, we ask ourselves how we can judge her.
Yes, we judge her...sometimes by not judging her, making her thirst even more for that attention.
Sometimes, it's the simple way of saying how idiotic she is. But frankly, we should sympathize...no...the way of going about is to engage her in the way she wants...another performance to highlight her performance.

we have a story. A fabula that fabricates not her life, but her life that fabricates the fiction.

Helen believes she is saved by her performance.

We'll do well to convince her that. So the story continues, without her meeting Inigo.

And it is from here on that we introduce Inigo, tomorrow.
