As soon as I knew that I would be all right, I was sure that I was dead and didn't know it. I moved through the days like a severed head that finishes a sentence. I waited for the moment that would snap me out of my seeming life. ↗

And Fall, with her yeller harvest moon and the hills growin' brown and golden under a sinkin' sun. ↗
