Tonight I went out to fetch the morning paper. Through the furious rain my flashlight's beam picked it out, the plastic bag stuffed with the news of the world, lying on the shiny black driveway. I brought it in and set it aside for when I wake. The lens of the flashlight was covered with raindrops. Even after I wiped it clean, when I shone it against the wall the remaining moisture filled the circle of light with translucent shapes like small creatures under a microscope. I wondered if I could identify which of them was me. I believe that this rain has at last driven me to distraction.
