Library; Wednesday [ 10/17 ]

Knowing full well that there was a break this week and she didn't necessarily have to come in, Adah did, anyway, figuring she had nothing better to do and deciding that she might be a little more comfortable with people finding her again. She went about her usual rounds of shelving books and then unshelving more, and, as she wandered, she wondered. About pain, which wasn't as bad as she thought it would be today, probably because her hardworking left side was just grateful that the surface it stepped on was flat and not increasing up and up and up like the stairs from yesterday. About several things involving water, which she was still uncomfortable with because she didn't even know how to swim. About Africa, and how strange it was that when she thought of that word today, she thought also of the word 'home,' and she also thought about how people there understood the territorial, how they avoided people like her, things unusual, or strange, or useless. It would be different if, instead of a lacking right side, she was lacking legs, but could still balance a basket of manioc on her head.

On her way back to the desk, she placed a book on her head. She didn't even step forward before she realized it was a pointless endeavor.
