i think that i might be just entering the forest. i still don't know what i want to do, or what i can do. what i do know is that there's no need to panic, or do more than i can cope with right now. for the time being, i plan to simply get my life in order and learn some new skills, choosing from what's available.

'something stronger than that. but it doesn't matter. he's trapped.'
'no,' i said. 'actually, he's not.'
with that i raised the hammer and struck it down against the jar with all my strength.
and the stupid thing bounced off. there was a chip in the glass, but otherwise all was as before.
the ghost in the jar had been braced as if for a mighty impact. it opened one eye and looked up at me. 'what are you doing? don't tell me you can't break it!"
'hold on.' i struck the jar again. the hammer bounced away.
'ohhh, you are so useless,' the skull said.
with mounting panic i tried again. this blow was even more ineffectual.
it gaped at me in disbelief. 'hopeless! a toddler could tap this open!"
'don't criticize me!' i roared. 'you're the one who suggested i use a stupid hammer!'
'i didn't think you'd be too feeble to lift it! why didn't you say?'
'i've never broken a silver-glass jar before! how did i know how tough they were?'
'you might as well give it to that dead cockroach over there! he'd have more chance than you.'
'oh, why don't you just shut up?'
The game taught me the game, and when you understand the rules, you don't panic.
