Poor Laird!
I remember having job interviews. They were always awful, even when I was successful. Your story brought back a lot of memories of feeling terrified, embarrassed, drained, unemployable and grudge bearing ... but in a loving way...

I love a bit of mythology and you have used your words to tell this story so well. I could see Narcissus' reflection in the pool as I read.

Ah, the magic of the pebble. I have one from a river in Ireland where I used to play when I was a kid. I used to carry it with me everywhere in my pocket but I stopped when I moved to Bulgaria to live. Probably because I feel at home again....

You’d need a big piece of paper to make a list of all the things that have disappeared or no longer happen in the first clip. Probably only the daffodils remain.
