A Rose By Any Other Name

365 Writing Challenge, Day 48

“You never told me what they call you.”

“You know my name.”

“I know the name everyone uses for you day by day. But, I don’t know your real name.”

“Why should I tell you?”

“Because I’ve earned knowing it.”

“Even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand why they call me it.”

“You don’t know what I would understand and what I wouldn’t.”

“Still, I’m not going to tell you.”

“Why not?”

“Because I never want you to call me by that name.”

Prompt: Write a piece that is entirely dialogue. Here is a beginning line: “You never told me …” — From Patchwork Farm
