“He
jumped. He jumped and I couldn’t stop him,” my wife said frantically to the
ambulance driver, “He was out of his mind.
My God, he was out of mind.”
I was strapped down in an ambulance,
unconscious and injured badly, paramedic hovering, as it bounced and sped to
the hospital.
But I’m getting ahead of
myself. It had all started off a month
earlier so serenely, so innocently, so risk free. And I must credit no one but yours truly with
the idea: an idea that manifested itself over thirty days into a dangerous,
terror-filled biblio-ride with unforeseen consequences.
