21 | He woke up after eleven and didn't go outside all day, not even to his Writing | ||
22 | Shack. What did he do? | ||
23 | |||
24 | He watched late morning cartoons meant for children too young to go to school. | ||
25 | He ate bowls of cereal. He watched his mother play dominoes. He played | ||
26 | dominoes with her for a little while until she was winning by such a margin it | ||
27 | wasn't fun for either of them. He went down to the basement to do his | ||
28 | laundry. He pulled the chain for the light and it turned on like magic. | ||
29 | "Electricity is like magic" he said to himself. He thought he would like to | ||
30 | write that down but his Implements were in the Shack. He'd already built up | ||
31 | so much momentum inside. | ||
32 | |||
33 | Inertia? he thought. "What's the difference between inertia and momentum" he | ||
34 | asked himself as he hefted dirty clothes into the washer. "Maybe inertia is | ||
35 | the momentum of not moving" he thought as he measured and poured the blue | ||
36 | detergent into the drum. "Momentum is the inertia of moving forward through | ||
37 | time" as he selected WARM-COLD on the dial and pulled it out to start the | ||
38 | machine. "What do you think is the difference between inertia and momentum" | ||
39 | he asked his mother when he opened the door at the top of the stairs. | ||
40 | |||
41 | "When you switch over your laundry could you bring up my underwear from the | ||
42 | dryer" she asked not looking up from her dominoes. A thread of smoke curled | ||
43 | from her cigarette and spread out on the ceiling. | ||
