A car rounds the bend further up the road and heads towards us. ‘The literature?’
‘Yes. There have been a couple of case studies written about you. I got in touch with the place where you were being treated before you came to live at home.’
‘Why? Why did you want to find me?’He smiles. ‘Because I thought I could help you.
‘I’ve been working with patients with these sorts of problems for a little while. I believe they can be helped; however, they require more intensive input than the usual one hour per week.
‘I had a few ideas about how real improvements could be effected and wanted to try some of them out.’ He pauses.
‘Plus I’ve been writing a paper on your case. The definitive work, you might say.’ He begins to laugh, but cuts it short when I do not join in.
He clears his throat. ‘Your case is unusual. I believe we can discover a lot more about the way memory works than we already know.’
The car passes and we cross the road. I feel myself get anxious, uptight. Brain disorders. Researching. Tracked you down. I try to breathe, to relax, but find I cannot.
There are two of me, now, in the same body: one is a forty-seven-year-old woman, calm, polite, aware of what kind of behaviour is appropriate and what is not- and the other is in her twenties, and screaming.
I can’t decide which is me, but the only noise I hear is that of distant traffic and the shouts of children from the park, and so I guess it must be the first.
