It was like that class at school where the teacher talks about Realization, about how you could realize something big in a commonplace thing. The example he gave — and the liar said it really happened — was that once while drinking orange juice, he’d realized he would be dead someday. He wondered if we, his students, had had similar “realizations.”
Is he kidding? I thought.
Once I cashed a paycheck and realized it wasn’t enough.
Once I had food poisoning and realized I was trapped inside my own body.
