Letter XIII

October 2, 1990

Dear Phoenix,

I am going to make an art flick about our love affair.  You’ll either do it with me or I’ll do it alone.  I’ll use what ever tools come to hand.  If you want a say in the final result, if there’s any ideas you want to put across, if you want more than my part of the story inserted, you’re going to have to hold up your end.

The next scene is yours.  The ball is in your court.

Love, Die.
