The Story
You walked beyond the maps before you were thirty. You were gone for what your body felt as forty days. You came back with one small grey stone you do not remember picking up and a permanence of attention you did not have before. You do not talk about it unless asked three times. You are still working out, sometimes, whether you came back fully.
