Gifted (2005)
“My sidekick, Mr. Zimmerman, had brought his Follies paperwork to the table, and he was so involved with his writing that he didn’t seem to notice my air of despondency no matter how hard I sighed. He’d write something he thought terrific, then make me read it, convinced somehow that I cared. It was all I could do to critique his work honestly, and with his spirits as high as they were, I think my sarcasm was lost on him.
When the man finally broke into song, or rather an obnoxious hum, I tu...rned away from him on the bench and laid my head on the table. I wished now that he had just sent me home. Sure I would have been grounded, but a good grounding sounded kind of peaceful to me now. Just me, alone in my room with nothing but my thoughts and my C drive. No worries. No camp. No Bruise Brothers on the warpath.
Psychiatric treatment didn’t sound so bad either. I pictured a kind, grandfatherly, Freud-like doctor “ahem-ing” a lot and telling me mine was an interesting case.MoreLess
