I would have betrayed anybody and anything for a hallucination. I had already remembered every moment from my life in every possible permutation of action and result. I had reconstructed for my mind's eye every movie and TV show I had ever seen. I had looked at every square millimetre of the room from every angle and under every light, and it had no longer anything to hold an interest I was desperate to give. Weary beyond words, I could feel every second with absolute clarity, my inner tempo quickening as the terror of decades became the incomprehensibility of days.
