It is difficult for me to recount this next chapter. Life had been so good: we were blinded by our ascending star to the possibility of its diminishing.
No, no. I cannot.
My mind is wandering. Rather than face the terror to come, I find my thoughts occupied with the labels of instant soup packets, the correct arrangement of a championship bridle, the most efficient way to collect conkers, lists of middle-ranking demons from the Lesser Key of Solomon, the shapes made by walking through jelly. Did you know the number of wives permitted an official of the East India Company posted more than 3 nautical miles from the dateline is seven? Or that some species of snakes were used as guard-animals for shoe warehouses (they can't steal the merchandise)? All true.
No, no more distraction. My resolution is with me once again.
