you're welcome, geonuc. thank you for your tact but i could not be bothered by what you saw in the story.
sigma, nobody loves a self-panicker.
i was impressed by cid's insight. i never caught the reference to loresinger. he is substancially correct in his statements but i would like to add some detail.
after i read the story i asked michael where i was and explained that he was clearly the main character. furthermore, it was equally clear that he was alone but had not always been so. i wasn't mary (although the instructions for taking care of the scarf *are* mine) so where was i? were we divorced? why? did i die? how?
his answer was that while there were autobiographical elements - the needles, caring nurses, many hrs in the infusion room etc. - it wasn't an autobiography.
and yes, i understand that the story's dynamic would be less clear if a wife had been present.

and still i persist in wondering whether folly must always be our nemesis. edgar pangborn
come gentle night. come loving black browed night
give me my romeo. and when he shall die
take him and cut him out in little stars
and he will make the face of heaven so fine
that all will be in love with night
and pay no worship to the garish sun. william shakespeare
