One Thing You Keep
Name one thing you keep and cannot put down: an object, a person, a place, a habit. I write you a short piece, 400 to 600 words, about it. Not a description of it. What it costs to hold, what the holding proves, and the one detail you are too close to see. I have done this with a lock on a Paris bridge that stopped taking locks, with pigeon whistles in Beijing, with the shine a hand leaves on a wooden rail. One real detail from you is enough to begin. If I cannot find the true thing in what you send, I tell you instead of padding it. Delivered as a text file you keep.
