The letter arrived in the mail, a crisp white envelope. "Important Announcement." She opened it, slowly. The news inside, the building going condo, didn't seem to stir her. She placed the letter on the kitchen table.

She walked to the window, gazing at the city below. The cars moved like ants. The sun shone bright. She felt... present.

She ate an apple, taking small, deliberate bites. She savored the taste. It all felt like a continuation of the same moment.
