#386 Doctor Vicks- Lucia Perillo
A life without fulfillment always finds a way to fill the
emptiness. A woman, a mother, and a housewife floats through life with her
demons always hovering. They have moved to the country to protect their son
from the dangers of growing up, it doesn’t work. She struggles with this life.
She takes walks to flee her emptiness.
“When the wind picks up and makes the limbs click, you can
find a place to stand where the birches will accommodate your arms’ spread,
your head thrown back and your roar drowned by the louder roaring of the creek.
So how come everybody thinks it’s you and not the creek who’s crazy?”
All three of them are troubled and seek space and freedom to
find themselves, soothe themselves or outright flee themselves.
Notable Passage: “The night is a tunnel that shrinks as the
year draws to a close, contracting to fit inside the circumference of your headlights."
