Well aware that a raccoon that is fed will always come back for more. I gave the raccoon a piece of bread, my subconscious well aware of the consequences. That was, I believe, the first time I noticed my strange tendencies as an unusual human. My attention was caught by the scuttering of a raccoon outside my window.
It happened in the dead of night while I was slicing bread for a guilty snack. Calm breathing air of the present but living in the past. The last yet to be replaced by the sickening blue-green of the future. The last remaining streetlight to have withstood the test of time. The tendrils of my hair illuminate beneath the amber glow.
