I love this, Nicci! I once met a man in one of my writing workshops who makes a habit out of throwing out all his notebooks at years' end. Sounded blasphemous when I heard it. But then I started envying him -- to be freed of all that scribble?

Maybe what we need is, indeed, just a photo. Proof that existed. And then... space.

Also, there's something poetic about losing pages in a chicken coop.
