Once again, phone written so excuse errors. As an additional note, the build up in this little piece of writing is far too lengthy, but I felt it was neccessary for context. This is a very slow story, so if you are seeking physical action, it may not be of interest to you.
I still refer to her as “the woman at the party,” despite having learnt her name in the days that followed. I’ve chosen to write up this experience not for what it was, but what it wasn’t.
Fantasy often relates to things which could not happen or we don’t truly want to happen. We treat it as the less serious, the less real, the hollow dream. But occassionally moments of fantasy are not for exploring the less real, they’re for seeing the MORE real. By that I mean our imaginations can strip away shallow worldly things in a given moment, allowing us to experience a more “real” version of ourselves and others, free of the riff-raff and boring surrounds, even if it never comes to physical fruition. I find this ability of our imagination to fantasise the “more real” utterly delightful, and it is exactly what occurred between me and the woman at the party.
