When Synapses Go Bad

Wounded

 The thoughts we think, the echos of times gone by. It’s easy to dwell on the past be it memories of joy and happiness or the images of dissapointment and sadness. It’s said by some that the brain retains all the living we have done, recorded just like a tape or these days, a DVD.  Recalling those moments actually “puts you back” in the experience, feeling wise and it’s just as though you were there and it was happening all over again. You can relive a harrowing situation, feel your pulse increase, blood pressure rise, palms start to sweat even though your body is shivering. You start shaking with fear, turn to run down the street. Thoughts onlyof getting away now, get away at all costs. Name rank and serial number, name, rank and serial number. “I don’t know where they are.I don’t know where they are going. I don’t know I tell you. I don’t know how many and don’t know about those missiles you keep talking about. I-don’t-know…….”Johnny, Johnny. Come on now,it’s okay.Your with friends. We got you back Johnny. Johnny, it’s okay.
