This story, set in 1917, was written for my high school senior year Writer's Craft exam and is presented, with the exception of minor editing, as it was written during the two-hour exam. It was published in the Toronto Public Library's 2017 Young Voices magazine, and is an imagination of the final days of Group of Seven influencer Thom Thompson. Thompson is famous for being something of a muse for the Group of Seven, and his mysterious and untimely death in Algonquin Provincial Park was considered a great loss for Canadian art and culture. This short story aims to surmise from a fictional perspective, and with the empathy of a fellow creative mind, what might have brought upon Thompson's death at Canoe Lake, and what his mindset might have been like before he tragically passed.

A Love Beyond Names
How did we get to this? Or rather, when? After you, I realized that time, circumstances, or simply us, because we are not perfect beings, but we try to be the best version of ourselves day by day, can be destined to be together and last as long as we are willing. Nostalgia flooded my body when I passed by our quiet, lonely, and green park, the one that welcomed us when we were together, just you and me. I saw that old, worn-out bench sitting empty; it was impossible not to remember the afternoons we spent there, laughing, dreaming, enjoying each other's company. From the moment I saw you that coincidental day, I knew that love had finally arrived in my life, and I will continue to stand by your side as your wife until my body can no longer go on.Complete

He declares... *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Lyla Denver was known to be a 'Lightweight' to everyone she knows.
