‘And then I’m thinking, Have I ever helped anyone? I mean, actually. Or have I just convinced myself I did? That sounds terrible, I know, like I’m saying you’re not helpful, but in fact I think you are, it’s just—the whole thing’s very strange.’
And without possessions, what was there left to narrate? But still the need for narrative remained. The urge in its raw form, stripped of content. To tell a story, any story, if only about the merest scrap of sensation. And yet it turned out that even this habit was no more capable of life without sustenance than any other living thing. Unfed, it too starved, leaving in its absence, if only for a moment, peace.
