Dysarthria
He remembers something about a mug in a television set box for a birthday. He knew the instant she said it who the present had been from.
He wonders what the deal was with mugs, anyhow. It's a funny mug though.
Never did tell her that he really liked it.
But that was probably more to do with the giver, than the gift.

He looked up from the piece of music he was scoring, and for an instant the heaviness melted away.
There were parrots in the trees. And the sun bathed his face, gently with the warmth of a mother's kiss.
It was beautiful here. And at sunset, the cockatoos blanketed the grass, forming a loud, raucous, cackling sheet of living snow.
For just an instant, just a moment, let the madness fade. Let this be a time-out.
And he found peace.
And that is, possibly for some strange reason, why he needs to leave.
