<strong>Fiction</strong> <strong>Fix</strong><br />
intestines would never match the book in my<br />
head that I imagined the book in my gut to be.<br />
That’s when the insight hit me, pulverized<br />
me, and rearranged me into the person I<br />
needed to be: the person who got out of her<br />
car and marched the manuscript box over<br />
to the huge biohazard dumpster behind the<br />
medical center. With a newfound conviction<br />
of my literary destiny, I threw my box, and<br />
whatever book or pale shadow of a book it<br />
may or may not have contained, into the<br />
irretrievable guts of the steel trash receptacle.<br />

from the fiber of my being, it was going<br />
to start, and end, on the outside of me where<br />
it belonged.
