‘Start again,’ he says. And so I do.
'Welcome everyone, wonderful to see you here. Today I'm going to tell you a little about me.'
‘Lose the fluff. It's not wonderful. Not yet. They just turned up. Again.’
I breathe deep. 'Welcome everyone. Today I'm going to tell you…'
He grimaces. ‘Why welcome? Tell the story.’
‘What, so, Today I'm going to tell you a little about me?’
‘Not going to. Tell them.’
My voice starts small, ‘My name is Elisa. I was born during a flood.’
It rises as I feel the beat of the story hum. ‘Some people call me a monster. I hope you are not those people, but we'll see.’
‘Now I'm listening.’
