In a prologue set years earlier when some

  • In a prologue set years earlier when some sort of weather typical for the setting was to be expected, a domestic animal woke an incidental character in the usual way. This presaged
  • "Heath," the therapist interrupted, "what's wrong with saying 'my cat woke me up yesterday'? You're here because your family can't understand you. Why use 32 words when 6 will do?
  • Heath thought about what the therapist said, then carefully offered a six-word response: "From now on, I'll do that." Heath never said more than six words at a time to anyone again
