4:34 pm	@@@@@ My mind recognized this as an average room @@@@@ My mind recognized this as an average room in a medical facilityThe ceiling tiles were white with darker specklesThe lights were rectangular and the same size as the tiles, replacing them at regular intervalsThe walls were light green–a calming color, but also the color of sicknessA poor choice, in my quickly formed opinion The people facing me were more interesting than the roomThe worddoctor sounded in my mind as soon as my eyes fastened on the HealerHe wore loose-fitting blue green clothes that left his arms bareHe had hair on his face, a strange color that my memory called red Red! It had been three worlds since I had seen the color or any of its relativesEven this gingery gold filled me with nostalgia His face was generically human to me, but the knowledge in my memory applied the wordkind An impatient breath pulled my attention to the SeekerIf she had remained still, it would have taken me longer to notice her there beside the HealerShe didn't draw the eye, a darkness in the bright roomShe wore black from chin to wrists–a conservative suit with a silk turtleneck underneathHer hair was black, tooIt grew to her chin and was pushed back behind her earsHer skin was darker than the Healer's The tiny changes in humans' expressions were so minimal they were very hard to readMy memory could name the look on this woman's face, thoughThe black brows, slanted down over the slightly bulging eyes, created a familiar design “How often does this happen?” I asked, looking at the Healer again “Not often,” the Healer admitted“We have so few full-grown hosts available anymor (Comment on this)

4:39 pm	@@@@@To just go cold turkeyBetter to tell people @@@@@To just go cold turkeyBetter to tell people you can hardly even draw stick figures, that when it comes to art you're like wealthy alums who support their college sports teams: if you can't be an athlete, be an athletic supporterBetter to put it out of your mind completely, and in your old age, creeping senility will take care of the rest 815 Oh, some of that old ability may still remain - like scar-tissue on the dura of the brain from an old injury (caused by falling out of a pony-trap, let's say) - and you might have to find ways to let that out once in awhile, to express it like a build-up of pus from an infection that will never quite healSo you get interested in other people's artYou become, in fact, a patron of the artsAnd if that's still not enough? Why, maybe you begin to collect china figures and buildings You begin to build yourself a China TownNo one will call creating such tableaux art, but it's certainly imaginative, and the regular exercise of the imagination - its visual aspect in particular - is enough to make it stop Make what stop? The itch, of course I scratched at my right arm, passed through it, and for the ten thousandth time found only my ribs I flipped back the cover of my pad to the first sheet Start with a blank surface 816 It called to me, as I was sure such blank sheets had once called to herBecause white is the absence of memory, the color of can't rememberAnd when you do, the itch will go awayFor awhile the confusion will subside Please stay on the Key, she had saidNo matter what happens I thought that might be trueSomething that could have been a cartOr possibly a ponytrap, standing still and waiting for the pony "They lived here happily enough," I told the empty studio"Father and daughtersThen Elizabeth fell out of the pony-trap and started to draw, the offseason hurricane exposed the debris field, the little girls drowne (Comment on this)
