I didn't even recognize it at first. A smell. A place. A word said the wrong way. Then suddenly I wasn't here anymore. I was back there. Living something I already survived but still feel like I'm inside. Memories don't ask permission. They just arrive and take whatever version of you is least prepared. –––xx10m
