(very) short story part 1. (easy now.)

A Chance Encounter,........As we converse, the next brilliant director of our generation brushes by a young lad of 13 on an icy street corner. The lad slips on a "dream" and said director instinctively reaches out not just a helping hand, but also a realizing glance of the profound impact this young lad has made on him. You see, this budding youngster has ambitiously combined his fashion sense with a cunning street wise that will undoubtedly (and in some ways, subconsciously) influence the director in his next project. (in years to come, there will be no explanation for this influence) The director is currently on location for his second film, a follow up to his insipid debut, A Lesson In Crime.
Film critic Josiah Pemberton recently quipped, "A Lesson In Crime, was an uninspired, 2nd-rate attempt to influence a decade of actors, directors and writers". Pemberton also noted that, "it (the film) was supposed to be it's very own, On The Waterfront or Mean Streets of its generation. Where it failed, and most will agree was that it lacked a sense of passion in the direction. Crime seemed to lack any real inspiration that it's predecessors so commonly displayed".
You understand now that this chance encounter evoked an emotion, a feeling. What the director experienced that day sparked something. As noted earlier, the director went on to do great things in film. I suppose in the end, this chance encounter wasn't anything substantial. I myself never got to see this kid. I'm pretty sure that at the end of the day he wasn't anything special, but something happened that day that led to something else. I guess that's the beautiful thing about art and expression: it does something to us. It gives us feeling, it doesn't evoke a reaction, it requires one.
