the unread story
---------------------

Kaeleigh attracted
quite a crowd of kids when she sat down on one of the cedar swings
to read a story.
--------------------
The unread story is not a
story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader,
reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story.
- Ursula K. Le
Guin, U.S. author, Dancing at the Edge of the World,
"Where Do You Get Your Ideas From?" (1989).
