There are these moments when I see someone and I begin to think about them as a character. It is a little surreal, but I almost 'see' a glimpse of that person's life, that character's life that is.
No, I do not claim clairvoyance, but it's a highly visual event with smells, sounds, setting and other people. Sort of like a dream, but too quick; like watching on closed circut tv., but being there at the same time. A warped sense of reality, sometimes a little unnerving; however, highly enjoyable. It is just very active imagination!
Maybe there is a story in there somewhere...
