Holy mother of God, this is incredible! The parallels to your own life are gut-wrenching. Lemmie guess: The girl in the window is Mrs. Lewis (Janice). Mrs. Lewis (Janice) is your future wife. Don and Brenda are... well, Don and Miranda. But then, where are David and Joan?
Allegory is a powerful tool for explaining difficult concepts. But the vast majority of those who will read your story will never know these details of your life. So, what does that tell us? As you say, "Seeing is believing."
Well, you're certainly seeing things that I didn't see!
None of the characters were intended to represent anyone in real life.
My main point was to get people to examine their own "vision". We have sight, which we can't entirely trust, and we have vision, which we also can't entirely trust. When in doubt, which should we go with?
The crazy thing is that just a week ago, I was going to call and ask if you had this very photo of the House in Hillsboro. I want to make a drawing of it for your birthday. Never noticed the girl in the window until now.
