Words came quickly to his mind, but never stayed too long. He never could make them linger long enough so that he could roll them around in his mouth or ponder over the awe of them.

No, words come to Sam at the worst times; which is why he is hunched over his Calculus notebook, furiously scribbling the words onto paper before they disappear for good.

Sam interjected: Ah, I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking that this is just another one of those stories. But that’s why I am here; to tell you that you are wrong. I am not what you think.

What I am, is a story; a story that I want you to know.
