1. I have a couple of minutes to myself in the hallway by the vending machines. Gathering my thoughts, thinking about how every new day is a chance to try again and again and again, and how I shouldn’t lose hope.
2. There are signs about exposure to X-rays on all three doors to the neighboring room but I only have to wait there a short while.
3. As I walk into the bookstore I wonder about a particular book, and there it is, right there, when I look down.
