The question posed to me was, what really happened? Simply put, I have no idea. There is a period of time — a long period where I have no memories, no sense of feeling, a formless shadow is all I can see.

Last night I crept toward the shadow and it is not dark as I imagined. Through a sheer curtain at the edge of a campfire’s radiance, I looked upon the coals. The coals responded to my presence, brightening when I stared intently and subsided when I looked away.

I gazed upon the coals and my attention created a wind which brought them to life. My pulse quickened because I had found a clue. Wherever I went, I counted on my return.
