Prompt: The obstacle is the way. My right hand won’t grip the chisel like it used to. Arthritis, the doctor says. So I will clamp the wood with my left. The obstacle is the teacher. I will learn to be left-handed.
Prompt: On death. Mira called today. She’s stressed about her marketing presentation. I wrote: “You are afraid of a slide deck. I am afraid of my next breath.

Mira’s throat tightened.
