Playwright Story (Day 14 prompt: "blank" Story)

I wanted to be a playwright

which gave me the first taste of 

playing God,

fixing the problems 

in my real life with 

imaginary characters.

My plays had great 

dialogue

but terrible plotlines 

because I could never figure out 

how to end the story.

I just liked being 

in the moment

one person 

communing,

communicating 

with another. 

I tried five times

and finally quit

and this is why 

I am here 

doing this 

now.

I no longer

play God 

nor do I want to,

and I am 

ever surprised 

by the endings

written for me.
