I wrote a story that only I will enjoy!

I feel like some of the best things get written this way!

Okay. I've just realized I'm in a hole. Without clothes.

lol Oh no, poor Clark! What a start!

They're mutts, black or caramel-colored.

Aw, I love that the street dogs found him first.

Quote
"Aliens in Minas Gerais... There's another story to make cows sleep."

lol That's an amazing phrase!

Quote
“Is getting the crazy guy out of the hole a good idea?” someone in the crowd asks.

I love the amount and variance of the audience commentary here!

“Well, that’s none of my concern, since I’m not a veterinarian,” Dr. Peixoto declares.

lol (I also think the name is fun, because it is sort of like they've fished Clark out of this hole, lol)

Quote
“Oh, right! If you’ve lost your memory, you won’t remember the asteroid!”

That's great! That's so diabolical to do to him!

Quote
Do any of these things make sense? I don’t think so.

Oh my gosh, poor Clark!

Quote
Luckily, they don’t bite me, because I don’t feel any itching at all. Well, just the itching in my mind, really.

I love this transition from physical to mental!

The coffee has so much sugar that it makes me think there's someone I know who wouldn't like it at all.

Awwww. So sweet that he knows she's there even when he can't remember her!

This is such a great way of capturing his instincts!

"It's Bahia's jersey. And the team's mascot is Superman, so it's for good luck."

That's so hospitable to give him a futbol kit! These are the nicest people ever! What a great, fun way to get him back in his colors.

the little village comes to life.

This whole section and the ongoing description of the community really makes it feel like we're there!

“They’re just a bunch of gossips, that’s what they are.”

rotflolThis reminds me of where I grew up, too!

“Poor boy, he’s so nice he can’t even play dominoes,” comments dona Terezinha. I’m not sure if that’s a criticism or not, but from the way she gives an affectionate pat on my hair, I'd say it isn't.

This is SO CUTE.

Looking forward to seeing Clark get his answers!
