Saving someone's life is like falling in love. The best drug in the world. For days, sometimes weeks afterwards, you walk the street making infinite whatever you see. Once, for a few weeks,
I couldn't feel the earth. Everything I touched became lighter. Horns played in my shoes. Flowers fell from my pockets. You wonder if you've become immortal, as if you've saved your own life as well.
