Week 3’s #52snapshots prompt is about what others don’t know or can’t see about you. My first draft was about all missing organs: tonsils, two parathyroid glands, female parts, and gall bladder.

Then the whole piece turned into an employment law court case.
What fun! This turn came so unexpectedly, and I wonder, since I’m enrolled in two classes this week (before the spring semester starts on Monday), one in poetry and one in a kind of memoir, whether my creative chops are engaged more than usual.
