Sonyta

She’s going to be a novelist. Right now she’s working on a story about a girl “still a few years away from being a woman” and her dog. The girl has a secret. Originally she was going to make the girl a ninja, but ninjas aren’t as cool as they used to be. Not a witch; witches are even less cool than ninjas. Maybe she’ll give the girl a super-power. Mind-reading? Shape-shifting? She’s not sure. She discusses the idea with the dog.
In a few years she’ll write a small novel about an older woman who gives up a tenured position as the Chair of Woody Allen Studies at a small university in order to run for a local school board election; during the election the woman meets and falls in love with a man who owns a parrot. The novel will be a critical success, and she’ll eventually become well-known in literary circles for small, clever, quirky stories.
Toward the end of her career she’ll write a story about a girl “still a few years away from being a woman”and her dog. The girl has a secret; a secret she only shares with the dog. The girl believes she was adopted; her real parents, she discovers, are ninjas. The story, when published, will make ninjas cool again.
