Memory Lane has potholes deeper than sinkholes, stuff that never quite gets repaired.
One Friday night, I went for a walk. Turned the corner at Memory and Luck, stepped off the sidewalk, and down I went. Tripped so easily; fell so far. Didn’t think I’d ever hit bottom.
They didn’t find me until Monday morning. No one had thought to look for me there.
It was the best weekend I’d had in years.
