My Op-ed: National (In)Security Agency

To Pen Fib and Fact

I write a lot. I have penned a book that is yet to be published.

But, I also write short stories, for a small group of my most trusted cohorts. 

I am not an author yet, but I hope to be one soon.

I found, that it is hard to tell the truth in a story, when the writer does not have it written down.

The pen can alter words, change your mind, fix fact from fiction. 

A pen can be your trusted ally, or your worst enemy. And it is only the few can who wield the power of proverb, string together a sentence, and project the collaborated paragraph. 

I was about to tell my companion of a scene in my story, (one that is still in the works)  when my own pen taped duct tape over my mouth and forced me not to say.

I have become a prisoner of my own words, my own pen.
