Did you ever need a timeout in your life? In 1985 I needed one, and sold everything and moved to an abandoned house, one hundred feet from the Caribbean. I carried water to flush the toilet, slept in a hammock, a mosquito net swaying around me with the gentle trade winds, and made my surroundings appear dream-like, seen through a cloud. Often a feral cat crept in as I sat clanking out a novel on a manual typewriter, and would leap up the wall and snatch a lizard in her mouth, the tail forming a kitty mustache as she fled through the open door. My time there helped me come to terms with something witnessed during an over-land trip through Africa, something that made me shake when going through airports.
In this memoir I come to terms with the memory. It also contains a short story written during my time when the sound of the Caribbean surf filled my dreams.
