This memory is so real that I can still feel the hem of my dress tickling my knee. I'm standing in the yellowish green light again and noticing how alone I am. No one says hello. I'm the youngest. Not doing anything important. I don't mean that at the time my father should have stopped what he was doing, maybe lifted me up and tossed me in the air. I was too heavy for him. He had rheumatism, and I was big and chubby, with bones like a horse. That's what Mother used to say. Like a horse. It was just Irma who had come in.
Then I could stand there and watch while they devoured it. They would drop everything, forget the catastrophe: having something to devour would come first, I was sure of that. But I didn't find anything, so I kept on walking. I came to a derelict farmhouse, sat down on the front steps, and thought about the story of the people who had lived there, Gustav and Inger and their twelve children: Uno, Sekunda, Trevor, Firmin, Femmer, Sexus, Syver, Otto, Nils, Tidemann, Ellef, and Tollef. It was incomprehensible, yet true, and all of them were dead now.
What a burden it must be to have to read everything. I don't talk to my neighbors. If they say hello over the fence, I say hello back, but keep walking. I'm not unhappy, but I'm not happy either. I don't know anyone who is. A doctor whom I see once a year says that I'm as healthy as a horse. He says this in a stern, admonishing way, and I know what he's getting at, but he can't possibly understand. I don't feel like explaining. He's not being malicious or pretentious when he just sits there and looks at me.
