The Story by Amy Bloom

Most stories are created by words, but it is this story that is created by what the author relates to the reader as what she has omitted from her story that makes this story complete. The Story is written in the 1st person omniscient view. The narrator tells a rather unremarkable story until she begins to interrupt her own story to inject omissions that were made. "Can I say that the husband was not any kind of importer?" or "I don't want to leave out the time Sandra got into a fight with Joe's previous girlfriend..."

It is these blatant omissions and retelling of them that make this truly "The Story". This is a picture that has been created out of words that I found online. This would not be a complete picture without the gaps.
