A random excerpt from the personal journal of an anonymous author, circa 1996

Recently, I've had the feeling that my life is governed by some sort of universal constant, akin to the Laws of Thermodynamics or matter conservation or, at the very least, momentum. One tragedy or back-formed bad emotion replaces whichever one I've managed to exorcise in the course of each day. Enemies and ill feelings, real or imagined, spring up with frightening regularity, and I wonder if I will every be truly happy again. Then I wonder if I was ever truly happy at all to begin with.
