It’s amazing where your brain can take you in a split second.  In the immeasurable pause between two sentences how far your brain can run.

She’s kidding. Oh god, she’s not kidding. T could never say that. Where are my shoes, I have to go to the hospital. OH GOD, she’s going to look horrible. Fuck, I hate hospitals. This is too hard. I can’t do this. Get up, get dressed. I hate going to unfamiliar places. You have to go, you have to do this. Am I even going to be able to drive? I have to leave NOW. I can’t see her in a hospital bed. How the hell could she do this, we were supposed to be in this together. Maybe I can track V down and she will come with me. She would want to come with me. Then I won’t be alone. Don’t be so fucking selfish. I don’t even know where the hospital is. Where the fuck are my shoes!?!?

The length of time it takes for just a period.  Just the silence between two thoughts.  It goes too fast for anyone to realize how far your brain has traveled, how wrong you can be.
