The plot reverberated in his mind, the words as clear as crystal. Excited, he reached for his laptop, and then, as realization dawned on him, warm tears froze in the lump of his throat. An accident last year had led to immobility of his fingers, and he cried in hopelessness.
"Let me be your pen, and you be my words," Latika, his wife, sat beside him.
For a moment he was dumbstruck, and then, his renewed zeal narrated the story to her, as she typed it fervently.
Needless to say, it turned out to be the best story ever.
