"...On a Tuesday morning at a local laundromat, a man stabbed her, raped her, and said, when he unclenched his hands from her throat, "You're a very lucky woman."...One month after the rape, when asked if she feels connected with her body, she realizes "Of course! The sense of my body as separate, almost dangerous, accounts for so much: my feeling translucent, my intense need for physical intimacy, my skewed time sense."..."
