“I sat for a moment, figuring things out, then decided to stay there. If I was on the floor, I couldn't fall down.”

“I walked across the polished marble floor and sat on a red velvet lounging couch. I idly wondered how exactly one was supposed to lounge. I couldn't remember ever doing it myself.

“Sometimes I couldn't figure it out, what all the living was for.”

“But I still couldn't figure out what it all meant. The more I found out, the less I understood.”
