Thorn, you are unitary and authentic now as you will never be again. As you pass through life, you will accumulate other selves. Always you will be a person looking back on, and separate from, the person you are now. Whenever you walk down a street, or sit on a park bench, your past selves will be sitting beside you, impossible to touch or interrogate. In the end there is a whole crowd of you wherever you go, and you feel like you will perish from the loneliness.Van Gelder, Gordon; Gilman, Carolyn Ives; Ryman, Geoff; Liu, Ken (2012-02-24). Fantasy & Science Fiction, Stories on the Nebula Ballot 2011 (Kindle Locations 565-566). Spilogale, Inc.. Kindle Edition.
