My Magnolia diagnostician referred me to a Texarkana ENT. Half-way through the exam, this ENT morphed into a seventeen year old, sitting in a formica and metal desk, comatose as I lectured on Dickenson’s “Because I Could Not Stop for Death.” James Hutchinson, fourth period English, third row, fifth seat.
