Anyway Burt says if the experimint werks Ill be able to understand all those things the studints are talking about and I said do you think Ill be smart like them and he laffed and said those kids arent so smart youll pass them as if their standing still.

Charlie you dont know it yet but your getting smarter all the time. You wont notise it for a while like you dont notise how the hour hand on a clock moves. Thats the way it is with the changes in you.

I dont no what that meens but Prof Nemur looked like he was going to bite his lip off.

I feel sick. Not like for a doctor, but inside my chest it feels empty, like getting punched and a heartburn at the same time.

I’m like a man who’s been half-asleep all his life, trying to find out what he was like before he woke up.

“Feel it [music. – Ю.Г.]. Let it sweep over you like the sea without trying to understand.”

But then it hit me like a fist against the side of my head that I didn’t remember what I had to do.
