  1. cattle prods:
    I cancelled my credit cards later that day, but I couldn't shake the feeling that I was forgetting something.  I felt as though a small but critical portion of my brain had been wiped -- no, scoured clean, with a coarse grit.  I ran though the hypothetical contents of my hypothetical wallet over and over: cash, credit cards, photos -- those were the worst, the most irreplaceable, and... what?  A ticket?  A claim ticket?  A movie ticket?

    The clean, pure electricity had reset me, and left me cold.
  2. egg whites:
    The protein helped.  By early evening, I felt a little more like myself, I think.  In any case, I felt a little more like someone, and a little less like a freshly washed white board.  Nobody called about a missed appointment.
  3. greta garbo:
    I woke up with a start.  "People come, people go. Nothing ever happens."  The words echoed in my mind.  A film.

  7. ritz:
    In the morning, I awoke in a hotel bed.  The previous night had faded into day, like
  8. stars:
    the moon beneath the onslaught of the sun.  In the warmth and light, I began to feel whole again.
  9. triage:
    Time heals, they say, and I guess it does.  I remember, and sometimes that is a blessing.  Sometimes the memories are fond, like a beloved film, seen again for the first time.  Sometimes they are melancholy like a list of things to do, now beyond action.  Sometimes, they make no sense, and those, perhaps, are the most inspiring.

  • "The Seeker"?

    Hmmm. Be very, very afraid. (And I thought I was frightened before.) Was Over Sea, Under Stone deemed too dull for a crowd of 2007 children?
