I have a friend of mine now . . a block of time is missing. He painted a picture recalling a pier in Trinidad, and then he went in there on the docks and painted another picture. It has been rumored that a friend of his who always despised him struck him. It has not been proved, but he is now away for the rest of his earthly days, one block completely missing. He knows that he came up on the surf in Trinidad, and now he thinks he was actually shot in the Island of Trinidad. And that block of time is completely rubbed out in his mind’s eye, and he picked it up from there, but they can’t let him out. He has completely dropped out. If the man did it or not, it really doesn’t matter. In the end, all will be forgiven. His motive . . if jealousy could have prompted the act, I don’t know. Nevertheless, my friend Walter is in this home for the rest of his earthly days with a large section of time completely missing.66 ¶34
