I am inundated with feeling. I feel like a pinball machine on tilt. All the buzzers are ringing, lights are flashing, and I am about to fry my circuits. Nothing is coming in,and nothing is going out. I feel electrified. The wires ignited, sparked, and fizzled. I want it all to slow down. I go right to the water to douse my flame. I immerse myself in the hot water.

Shamed and enraged, I sit by the side of the road and cry.

My integrity and humility have been violated. I have only my own indignation to spur me on. — Holly A. Smith
