Nonexistent Book of the Month:
One of the major problems with being talented, skilled and having an overactive imagination is you're always making stuff or making stuff up.
It's great when it's a product to be sold, but when it has no purpose, it's just a sack of lies.
Si Si is a witch of sorts, actually she's more of a grand prognosticator. She's spent most of her relatively short life hating something about her self to the point of indulging self destructive fantasies. She hates being half a head taller than the other girls, but she loves being able to buy liquor without being carded, she hates the unwarranted advances of older men and women, but loves her narrow waist and round hips, she loves her soft wooden flute smoky low toned voice, but hates her prematurely graying hair, she hates being smarter than most of her peers, she loves her family, especially their cooking, but hates being a multi-ethnic exception. Si Si loves knowing what people are thinking and feeling before they do, but she hates knowing what people are thinking and feeling. As a young teen Si Si was given charge of keeping a powerful device safe from the hands of adults that might use it's terrible power to shape the world's events. As she matures into a woman the device, that for all intents looks like a child's origami toy, affects her life in amazing ways, willing her to seek experiences and peek into near futures. Si Si spends most of her time wishing to meet and fall in love with someone that knows all these things about her but doesn't really care and loves her regardless. That is until she meets up with him. Then all Heaven and Hell is set loose in her real world, his studio and her imagination. She finds herself from time to time reading words that she is assured that she has written, first hand accounts of experiences that she knows have occurred but not to her. At least not in this life.
