Excerpt:
Into my new screaming office, I am heading for my new screaming chair. Midway, emptiness pushes me to the ground where I land with a soft thud on the fluffy carpet. I try to move but I cannot. I try to fight but it is too strong and invisible. Burdened, I resign myself to the floor. The thought emerges again in my prefrontal cortex, its weight burying my head into the carpet – “neti neti.” The tears freely fall, disappearing into the fluffiness of it all. Read the full story here.
