The New Doctrine

Version Mountain-Sunders-Tree

Simon lifted the bulky envelope out of his mailbox. Up the stairs. Into the apartment.

Hang up his coat. Drop his wallet and keys on the table.

Check the phone for messages. Aren't any.

Study the envelope for identifying marks. Aren't any.

Sit at the kitchen table with the cellphone. Open the envelope.
A compact disc, wrapped in plastic.

Over to the laptop. Carrying the cell and the disc.

Slide in the disc, click on the program. Video file. Play.

A burnt copy of the movie Memento.
