Sitting in the waiting room, I know I’ve forgotten something. My 6th sense is clamouring but I’m only having blood tests — and both arms are present and correct.
Idly listening to a father and small daughter, also waiting, checking out their magazine.
"Dad, can I open the free gift?"
"Not here."
I can see it emblazoned on the cover. Free Tarot Cards with every issue. He’s telling her you have to be careful with them, he’ll show her what to do when they get home.
I’m not sure I approve. She only looks about six.
They’re called in, and go past me. The magazine cover floats by at close range.
Ah… Free Carrot Seeds.
I know what I forgot — my glasses.
