Apology

[beetiger]

Years ago, I developed an obsession with the Apology Line, a phone line out of Manhattan that people would call to confess anonymously, apologize to people who couldn't hear the apologies directly, anything they wanted to, everything for apologies to roommates for leaving dishes in the sink to confessions of rape to forgiveness offered to dead relatives. You could also call in and listen to everything people had recorded. I would do this for hours at a time. The voyeur and the priestess in me both feel called to this kind of thing.

reive reminded me of this by a recent post of hers, and since we have only a few friends in common, I hope she won't mind if I mooch this idea. I'm setting anonymous posting and no IP tracking on this post. Post your apologies, to anyone, anytime, as anonymous comments to this post. I'll post a few of my own once this gets started. Community catharsis. We can all use it.

Apology to Q

I'm sorry that the last thing we talked about was the money you owed me before you were killed in that horrible fire. Your friendship was priceless, and the money you owed me could so easily have been forgiven. I've never let money become an obstacle to friendship since then. I miss you.
