In the quiet classroom of my childhood, I knew myself apart from the others. They cast me out as one not of their kind. Yet the class fish remained constant. They offered no mockery, only silent acceptance when I fed them. I tended them on weekends and during the long breaks. But when thieves broke into my apartment, and violence took me, when I lay certain of death, I saw the truth. The fish could not shield me. Their indifference was absolute. From them came only silence. No creature simply drifts into isolation; the path is prepared long before the first lonely step.
