Testo: Elijah Wyman. Why We Never Go Swimming & Other Short Stories. The Life You Hide Is The Life You Lose.

?My dear Tom,

I met two men today. They had your picture and they knew your name. And what?s more they said you?d done some awful things. Like you said Tom, I did not say a thing.

I hate to lie. It?s true. Today I lied for you.?

?My Dear Jules,
You must understand that four walls cannot contain a man. So I have hid above the forest in the hills. Call to me from the tallest tree to signal.

And I will hear and see you high up waiting for me.?

No one had ever seen such a large blaze as they did that day.
She had climbed the tallest tree, but before she did she had lit the base,
and she cried, ?You and I could never have peace again
because you know I would rather die than to live a life hidden!?
("As sure as rain, as sure as sin, you?ll never break a heart again.")
