down inside they already know.   Now she has me in focus.  She is the 
only one who knows I'm here.  Ready? – Here we go, the final zap, the 
bright light you sometimes hear about.  She'll instantly tense, light 
spasms, flash a weak smile, and then completely relax as she relives 
every precious moment of her life.  A couple thousand images seen in an

successfully completed another assignment, I'm afraid I must once again 
test the limits of near perfection...
