That was when Angel Wells became a fiction writer, whether he knew it or not. That's when he learned how to make the make-believe matter to him more than real life mattered to him; that's when he learned how to paint a picture that was not real and never would be real, but in order to be believed at all-even on a sunny Indian summer day-it had to be better made and seem more real than real; it had to sound at least possible.
