"What do you consider to be, for you personally a very important word?"

The psychoanalyst looked at her client, she repeated the question thinking taht 

perhaps he had not heard

But the young man in the wheelchair looked straight at her without blinking

He held her gaze for a second, then "an" and again mpre emphatically "AN"

"Anne?" She echoed with a somewhat bemused smile

She was sure no one with that name appeared in this young man's file

"Well I didn't expect that now Steven, I expected something like

love, happiness, compassion even,"

"Well so did I Lady, oh so did I" was Steven's somewhat cryptic reply

"Do tell me all about Anne, I would like to know why Anne is so important to you"

"Without "an" I would not be anything at all, I would be even less than I am now,

"an" is everything to me, "an" is crucial to my identity

"Anne sounds very special, You must tell me all about her, What do you say?

" "An" is not someone;s name , "an " is part of who i am.I am an invalid,

If you take "an" away, what then? What dod i become? Now do you see? 

Can you see why "an" is everything to me?
