Narrative Perspectives: An Introduction

There is an old adage that there are two sides to every story, but those who have ever heard another person retell an event they were present for may come to re

Oh the things I would do to live in a universe where the company that published Disney’s Cinestory Comics hadn’t gone out of business before they could print every episode of Gravity Falls. Don’t get me wrong, twelve episodes of s1, a collection of the shorts, and Weirdmageddon are very useful, but…if nothing else, for the completionist in me! That alone is why I acquired a couple more volumes that were apparently only ever published in Spanish, even though I might read Spanish on a first grade level, tops. I could someday improve my Spanish to a more functional level, hypothetically. But even without that - having every scene on paper? With all the dialogue there and most of the visuals? Where I can just refer to it at will, and use bookmarks? Oh the level of detail accuracy my fics would obtain. But alas - here’s further evidence we ain’t in the best of all possible worlds here, I guess.

Somewhere between desire and acceptance - blossoms of water opening at the sound of you - your eyes grew accustomed to the dark.

Cathy Song, from "Points of Reference," Poetry (December 1988)

I guess I've never known love in my life, that hasn't fallen apart. Either by mourning loves lost or tending a broken heart. The loss of the one who promised to grow old with her, together, love stuck in the minds eye, when realities is withered forever. Or the loss of a friend, that felt so stable, so strong, but life's intention, renders your safety net, clearly wrong. Or, perhaps it's the broken heart, the husband that left, alcohol burns. putting a child's love first, having to ignore your own wants, your own yearns. The love that never comes, your prince charming from fiction, the love you invent, that becomes your life, your addiction. I fear it, the fickle and destructive thing, I fear all the heart ache, the absolute brokenness it can bring. Love, instills a fear so deep, the fear I fear the most, that the love I'll fear, is for your shadow, your memory, a ghost. That you'll leave, you'll be taken, or this isn't true, the love I fear, is the loss of you. Carrying on as one is something I won't imagine, the pain and emptiness is something too deep to fathom.

My point of reference, all from which I can draw, That somehow, I'll be alone, I wont have you anymore. That you're my grandad, my best friend, my dad, a story book man, So I feel that I enjoy love just as long as I can. Racing towards goals, in our short, sweet borrowed time, waiting for that day, when the only smile I have, is at the thought of when you were mine.
