Cannot Unite
“I’m about to violate the rule!
Jeannette stopped the thought. Stopped everything. The impulse to scream. The need to fight. Everything.
She had to. No emotions. Ever. That was a major rule. Emotions clouded issues, warped reality, altered judgments. She had to staunch them so she could think. That was her preferred methodology. Gather facts. Ponder. Do it rationally. Calmly. With detachment. Logically. She knew from experience that if she incorporated emotionless reasoning with the list of rules she’d created a decade or so earlier, everything would pass. Her sanity would return. Her world would right. And if she was lucky and blinked just so, this would turn into an aberration in the fabric of time, and she’d be back in that dining room having white tea infused with strawberry, peach, and vanilla, while carrying just a hint of rose petal undertone.
And then she wouldn’t need to fret over where her overnight bag with all her identification might have just gone. Ah!
Remember the rules,... Jeannette.MoreLess
