The drug will not wear off for thirty days or more. The injection was
intended to ease the wild thoughts he was having. Instead of the wild
thoughts, he now feels that he is about to sink into the earth,
sometimes that he is going to soar into the sky. He refuses to go
outside. His wife insists that he get back to normal, to at least go
out to the mailbox.
OK,he says.
He goes to the door. He turns the knob.
He swings open the door. The sky swirls down at him, the ground churns
and growls like a stormy ocean. His stomach lurches.
'For Pete's sake, get the mail,' comes his wife's impatient voice. She
has watched him lie around afraid to get up for two weeks. Now at last
he is moving. She comes to the door. She watches him sink into the
grass. He feels himself falling, falling, through layers of ground
into repeating skies.
