Episode 13: Journey

Mazolli leaves a paperback on the dashboard of the car. The next day is sunny and hot. The book’s binding glue melts in the heat. That evening Mazolli returns to the car to retrieve the book. He sees it on the dashboard and recognizes immediately that it is a transformed object. The unbound pages feel loose and curiously free. Mazolli raises them to his nose. The glue residue is fragrant, reminding Mazolli of his school days. The paper smells like a fresh notebook and the ink like a brand new pen. Mazolli feels dizzy, falling into that memory hole.
