It was in the city and his +mother told him she wouldn't drive him so he'd had to take the bus. Number 3 +he thought it was – he couldn't quite remember. Jill said "Sorry what?" Paul +realized that she hadn't really noticed him there in the break room as he was +hunched behind the refrigerator a little and she was busy pouring coffee and +exactly two tablespoons of both milk and sugar into her mug before she put the +coffee in. He decided to repeat the question. + +"How do you think" he asked. "Like everyone else I guess" she said "I have a +thought and if it's important I write it down." "Do you have to say them out +loud for them to make sense?" "Are you asking if I talk to myself?" A pause. +"I guess so" he said looking down. He had a feeling this was a bad thing. +"Sometimes" she said and walked out of the break room. She didn't understand +the importance of his question. She popped her head back in a moment later and +his heart leaped in his chest. + +"How's your first day going so far" she asked. "Can you understand everything +okay?" "Yes" he said "you were right it's pretty basic." "Good" she said. +"Paul?" "Yes." "Do you have to say all of your thoughts out loud to remember +them?" He shook his head. + +Only all of the time, Paul thought to himself but didn't speak. -- cgit 1.4.1-21-gabe81
