Facts
Her palms were sweaty and starting to get prickly and itchy, a sign the anxiety was worsening. She would need to take her anti-anxiety medicine if she couldn’t steady herself. In her lap, sat her little black book. She started to rub it between her two hands like she was trying to start a fire with two sticks. A fire that would ignite and burn bright with her winning the quiz show’s $20,000 grand prize. In her book were facts. Facts seemed irrelevant and disregarded these days, but they all mattered to her. She’d been collecting facts her whole life. From the time she could toddle out to the backyard and study an ant hill, she’d obsessed over collecting information and storing facts. Each fact helped her make sense of the world, a place that had made her feel like a space alien all her life.
