As a SMALL child:

  1. The picture of a flourishing, Hawaiian coral reef (in our encyclopedia). I could look at it (still, with some dread of its eerie buzz), but I always failed when daring myself to simply touch the picture.

  2. Dark, winding staircases and damp, granite-walled basements.

  3. Having dreams involving 1930s cartoon characters and settings.

  4. The occasional appearance of my baby-sister’s ‘Suzy Q’ doll (walking and staring) in my dreams. (Once, I got a dream 3 and 4 mashup.)
