Stay for the names

Original non-fiction-style practice text.

When the film ended, most of our row stood up. My cousin remained seated for the credits. I used to find this irritating: the story had finished, the bus would not wait, and hundreds of names could tell me little about people I would never meet. This time, she pointed out the workshop where she had spent a month making miniature doors.

The doors had appeared for perhaps four seconds. Her contribution was neither the secret explanation of the whole film nor an insignificant accident. It was one piece of its making, now briefly attached to a name.

I will still leave early when I must catch the last bus. I shall no longer call the credits empty time. Sitting through them is not a test of moral character. It can simply be a chance to let a finished story become an account of work.
