141 Afterword (Filling in the Blanks) I guess you can see I had some trouble remembering much about what happened in my life. That’s on account of various things that happened to me that I can’t remember. The best I could do was come up with the chapter headings, based on certain documents I found in a suitcase that seems to be mine. If anyone out there knows me and can remember any of what happened, I’d be much obliged if you’d get in touch and fill me in on some of the missing gaps of my life story. If you don’t know me, or if you do but you can’t remember what happened either, just go ahead and write in whatever you like on the blank pages. You could write your own life story, or just make up a story based on the chapter headings. I’d be happy if anyone out there would like to send me their own story, or even a made up story, seeing as I don’t seem to have a story of my own to tell. Thank you, V.B.
