So the task was thought of and rendered complete. To interview a whole host of people about someone you’ve never met. To have them tells stories, share opinions, tell the good times and give subtle slights on their character. To have them all emulate their mannerisms and describe their features to give you a complete image of a person you never knew.
Fascinating; but of interest to whom? You’ve never met this person and now you have a picture of them in relation to others. Do you meet them and break the spell? Play a game of comparison? Are they as you were lead to believe? Or do you leave them as an enigma, someone who exists as a fully formed ghost in your head?
Or do you wonder how much time and money you spent on this project? And why the police are interested in you? And how much trouble you had in getting people to talk to you? And how the person’s family started to threaten you?
There are so many options.
