He has built a life as exact as the work and keeps it the way he keeps the chain on his door, every night, without fail.Then one morning the chain is already off, and he knows he set it. The route he has run for years measures longer than the route he ran. A notebook he has no memory of keeping is filling, night after night, in a hand that is his and is not his, in a voice with none of his caution and all of his intelligence, wanting the things he has spent a lifetime deciding not to want.Someone is living the parts of his life he will not, and doing it in his name.
