What Might Have Been

There have been some posts of late on Facebook regarding the lives we might have lived. What would they have been like? What would we have done, if we had turned to the left instead of the right, just at that moment?

Gwyneth Paltrow starred in a movie called "Sliding Doors" that used that premise. Some years ago, LynnAnn Wojciechowicz told a story at a guild meeting. Not a "true" story, but one about how she "hoped" things had turned out in her family. It was quite compelling.

These types of stories are "fantasy", of course. But they can be quite good stories, and are considered "kosher" as long as he teller lets the audience know the nature of the tale you have crafted. Make sure you don't leave out this IMPORTANT part.
