Reboot

It starts at this new school with 7E in 2011. I’m in this weird-smelling classroom with no cabinets or bookshelves or anything except a desk. (Everything else I salvage at the community sale at the end of August because of good advice.) I don’t know the names of any of the school holidays, and worse, I don’t know any of the unspoken traditions. My almost-future students back at the first school I could call mine are just now discovering that the future they expected has shifted.

Cause - Effect.

I’ve already stole out of town in my covered wagon (UHaul with attached UHaul trailer). I said goodbye to the postmaster, only because I had to in order to forward my mail, and few things are as important to me as mail. I left in the middle of the night. It was more dramatic that way.

Someone at the public library I frequented every day in Town #1 cancels my library card the week I move to Town #2, which only exists on the map and the sign of a lone gas station, crippling my access to the resources of Badgerlink.

Begin again. Restart.
