There are so many ways to disappear. When I’ve been at my lowest, I’ve thought about how I could vanish without a trace. I didn’t want it to end with someone stumbling upon my body at the edge of a forest. A rowboat out in an open sea of sleeplessness and a shotgun report. Still, the most common, most unostentatious disappearances take place within a person. When the personality takes over the work of the soul and continues onward, fully mechanized, with the help of the body.
