The man next to me spoke of the idea for his story.
"It’s The End of the Rainbow," he said,
"Where someone on stage noticed I was sketching
and pulls up the pad and shows everyone what I was doing."

In his brief description, it sounded like an origin story,
where he gets discovered
and the world bows at his feet.
The title suggests something else again.

His manner showed that he was timid,
but he mentioned that he was a firefighter.

I really wanted to know more about the story,
but we were only hearing synopses at this point in the session.

When we break up at the end, I let him know,
"I hope you continue with this.

I really want to know how your story plays out."
He nodded, but I have no idea if he’ll follow through with this.
I hope he does.
