Today, My Name Is…

I’ve changed my name a lot of times. I used to keep a list of names I’ve used. Then, I ran out of paper.

Paper isn’t cheap.

Neither is ink.

Now, I just store those names in my head. Sometimes I write them down in the dirt or in the sand. I don’t like writing them down in the snow.

Today I’m Emily Barclay. That is who I am. Emily Barclay. It’s important I remember and don’t slip up.

I slipped up once.

Nearly died.

Won’t make that mistake again.

So, today I’m Emily Barclay. I can’t forget. So, I won’t forget.

Who knows who I’ll be tomorrow?
