Ethics Class #5, Friday morning, 8-10am

[brambless.livejournal.com]

Tara looks tired but happy as the students come in. She wears a scarf around her neck that doesn't quite cover a greenish-purple bruise.

"Last week we looked at power and responsibility. The first hour is an extension of that. I want you to divide into two groups. If your name has an odd number of letters, you're in Group A." She waves to one side of the classroom to indicate that the group should congregate there. "If your name has an even number of letters," waving to the other side of the classroom, "you're in Group B. Go."

*counts on his fingers* S-H-E-P-P-A-R-D... 8, so even then.

I guess my first reaction is intense curiousity. If this is someone I love and trust in all other situations, then I'm going to assume I can trust them in this too. But I'd want to know what was erased and why. If this is someone I'm able to love and trust than this is also someone who wouldn't take something like this lightly. There must have been something serious on the line. My life, or possibly my sanity. Maybe someone else's.

I'd be a little anxious until someone could answer my questions about whether or not this is a part of my memory that I'm going to need in order to function or not - did I forget my 5th birthday party or how to drive a car? One has a larger impact on the way I live my life right now than the other does. And I'd probably get a little aggitated until someone could tell me why (and, knowing me, how) it was done.
