Look, Mark's not like the rest of us. Things get to him. He feels it, records it, labels it, and saves it. He disengages because if he doesn't --
I'm doing it again, I know. Don't think I don't know. And the doctors say it's normal, that before long I'll stop. I'll get used to it. Accept it.
Shit.
I don't want to. That'll make it real, unchangeable, put down in words for all time in ink.
In stone.
In a cold, unfeeling marble angel. No, granite. Can't afford marble.
