# Transmission Test - Supplemental <blockquote class="ned-transmission-text ned-supplemental-text" style="border-left:2px solid #ffa500;padding-left:1.5em;position:relative;color:#ffa500!important;text-shadow:none;"> <p style="color:#ffa500!important;text-shadow:none;">cold. wet. hungry. the confusion is harder to locate. the ringing continues. a thousand tuning forks, all invisible. covering my ears changes nothing. possible concussion. difficult to assess my own thinking with the same head that’s numb with pain. i keep trying to remember my lab. beyond the railing, across the water — somewhere my mind could return to. i can still see my handwriting on the whiteboard. i remember the white light. i remember something else. write that i remember something even though i don’t know what it was. stop before, i begin changing it to make sense. warm air. cold water. the rope. the ship. the bell. leave the gaps intact. what isn’t there is as important as what is. my name is ned srinivasagam. i know that is who i am. i would like to go an hour without needing to tell myself. remember who you are. everything else is uncertain. start from what you know. another photograph arrived. how? why? who sent it? what am i seeing? i looked until the screen dimmed, then touched it to bring the light back. rest your mind now. the rest will sort itself out later.</p> </blockquote> <!-- Verbatim published below-divider prose.
