DAMAGED LEDGER - "Harry," it begins -- you're already reading. "I wanted to write you a letter, so you can read it when you wake up. Maybe it will make you happy."
VOLITION - Throw it away. Please.
YOU - But it will make me *happy*...
DAMAGED LEDGER - A merciful wind blows in from the Bay of Revachol, dusting the ground at your feet and raising newspapers far away. You feel the card slipping into it...
SHIVERS - Frisson covers your entire body. A feeling of cold. A persistent chill.
YOU - Throw the card in the wind.
ELECTROCHEMISTRY - No! Don't throw away the baggie! There's dust on the drug baggie! It's not good but at least it's *some* kind of way to be together...
YOU - Throw the card in the wind.
DAMAGED LEDGER - Just like that the wind picks it from your fingers. Cold, they let go, the wax paper rustles, a whisper light and low... Then a sudden gust raises the postcard to the drizzle grey sky above. Away from you...
SHIVERS - A small piece of paper dances above Martinaise -- above slow waves crashing the shore; and the war torn houses and the new *batiments nouveau* alike; above you, looking up to the grey sky with your hair greasy and wet..
Shivers - And above the distant streets and the 8/81 -- even above the old fish market and the church. Its material existence is lost. This great city will pocket it for you. For your own sake -- forget about it.
ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Synapses can be rerouted. The mind takes a new shape.
VOLITION - Not for yourself -- for the people of Revachol.
AUTHORITY - For the eighty thousand under your jurisdiction.
ESPRIT DE CORPS - Under Precinct 41, where typewriters fire long into the night, and officers walk the great steps and the bridge. Long after the card has landed in the cold shore waters, its writing dissolved. Material disintegrated.
DAMAGED LEDGER - The wind carries the keepsake away from you -- to the southwest, the pale violet dot disappears.
DAMAGED LEDGER - No. You should not have thought back at it... Now some of it is on your mind again
