“Oh, Jeff… I love you, too…but… I’m two-dimensional.”
“Oh, darling. You shouldn’t be so hard on yourself…”
“No, really. Look at me. I’m a painting. Look at the dots on my face. The colours here are so bright and yet I feel so flat. Like I could be hung on a wall and become forgotten over time because I am just part of an art movement that a lot of people no longer respect…”
“I’m sorry, darling... but I could never give my love to acrylic and canvas.”

Fair Exchange, No Robberies
Dark Memoirs - Index There are at least two kinds of people in the world: those who write this half-arsed kind of intro to a story that looks to separate the rare and the norm, and those who realise it's an overused framing device and don't.
