“I had always known in my heart that the experience would never leave me, that it was now woven into my very fibers, an inextricable part of my past, but I had hoped never to have to recollect it, consciously, and in full, ever again.

Of late, it had been like the outermost ripple on a pool, merely the faint memory of a memory.”
