“Eeeeee eeeee eeeeeee eeeee eeeeeee eeeee eeeee eeeee eeeeeeee eeeee eeeeeee eeeeeee!”

Sh-ch-sh-ch-sh-ch. Sh-ch-sh-ch-sh-ch. Ch-ch-sh-ch-sh-ch-ch.

SH-CHRACK!

“Aaaahhhhh! Aaahhhh! Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh!”

“Shshshsh! Shshshsh…Shshshsh…Hhhhmmmm…mmmmmm…mmmmmm…hhhhhhh…”

Okay. That one was…creepy.

My journeys back to life have been mysterious before this, but when I’ve returned I’ve always I understood what happened. I’ve remembered the events I experienced. But this time it is as if I experienced nothing.

No, that isn’t right. I have a memory of definitely experiencing something, but it is…so difficult to put into words.

Color, warmth…the sounds of crying and humming. A voice and a smell and a touch I know well. My mom’s.

She’s the rock and the foundation of this experience.

But what happened in that scene? I must have lost my rattle. It’s the object that returned me to life. Did I cry? Did my mother pick me up? Comfort me? Soothe me? The rattle is still here, so she must not have been able to find it for me.

I’m disconcerted by the whole experience and its myriad mysteries, afraid of being sucked into that black hole by gravity, of becoming that baby who has no words to express the impressions of her mind.

There’s no way I’m going anywhere near that rattle again.
