It's a difficult chapter to comment, as you touch on issues that go beyond rationality. I found it weird and touching at the same time and then it reminded me of those surrealist paintings that seem to show an everyday reality only to open into something altogether different, darker, scarier when you shift your point of view just a little. Thought provoking. I wonder where he is fleeing: to his past? to his future?
I'm afraid I'm not making much sense myself. I look forward to your next chapter.
