What interests me are stories within stories – all that’s unseen and unsaid. Every character has a voice and a perspective, but is that the whole truth? Non-fiction can attempt objectivity, but all fiction is subjective. The unseen and unsaid, like lingering ghosts, haunt my mind long after the story is forgotten.
