Compound No. II
Vague Unease
of Unknown Origin · A Disturbance of the Nervous Humours · Neurasthenic in Character
For the persistent sense that something is wrong, though nothing specifically is wrong. Free-floating in character. Source: unknown. You have checked everywhere. It is not there.
The Society has compounded a remedy. It does not resolve the unease. It gives it a name. A named thing is smaller than an unnamed thing. This is the medicine.
Steep the lemon balm. While it steeps — name three things you can see, three things you can hear, move three parts of your body. This is the medicine. The tea is just something to do with your hands. Write the unease on the paper. Name it, even incorrectly. Take it outside. Light the corner. Watch until it is gone.
Remaining indoors. Checking your phone. Attempting to locate the source.
The unease may return. She knows what to do.
The paper is the medicine. More paper can always be found.
