Autobiography in Five Short
Chapters
Chapter 1
I walk down the
street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost ... I am helpless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

It still takes a long time to get out.

I walk down the same
street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

My eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.
