IN: The last time I had seen her before this weekend was Thanksgiving weekend when I was fifteen . In the past few years , I had only really spoken to Duke and Jenny a handful of times - in the holiday season , typically . And my Duke had also been up to Michigan a few times and had brought his son , Ryan , with him , but our contact really was n't at all regular .
Why might the person not see the others for long periods of time ?

OUT: They do n't live near each other anymore .

IN: i want to start writing again . it 's been way way too long . i have a couple of old stories from highschool that i ' m thinking , as an exorcise , i might rewrite .
What may be a fact about this person 's past ?

OUT: They used to be a writer .

IN: It seems as if I slept a few minutes ago , had an eventful dream and then was impolitely woken up . That 's how these 11 weeks at Redmond have whooshed past . And at this point , it 's still unclear to me how so many experiences and so many memories were registered in a single summer .
What is the reason that it seems as if I slept a few minutes ago ?

OUT:
I do n't remember being asleep and I woke up so it seems like I only just was sleeping and going to sleep .
