Translucent as Jellyfish

When I’m reading a book, I usually pause at the end of a paragraph if the end of the chapter isn’t approaching.

Last night the last paragraph I read had the following sentence in it ‘It crossed my mind that these sensations were caused by spirits and that they hung, translucent as jellyfish, in the very air that I passed through’ … At the time, I thought to take a picture of it but was afraid the flash would disturb Rusty. I picked up the book tonight and accidentally reread that same paragraph.

Jellyfish is important to this story because I referenced it months ago referring to Dr. Ellis. I said that if she were an animal she would be a jellyfish, because jellyfish are stupid.

A childish comparison but I was angry and I’d realized that it was almost anagramically possible for her name to turn into Jellyfish.

I’m still looking for the notes that I took into the next doctor’s office when I left Dr. Ellis. Dr. Jellyfish. I have to be closing in on them.

I’m still healing, still happy, still hanging in there. Dropping the photo of the jellyfish pic.
