I could hear it in my mind, but when I tried to commit it to memory, when I tried to sound it into life, it eluded me like a ghost. I wonder if my recent research brings this on, if there is something epigenetically waiting to reveal itself. You see, when you open the vault of your own genetic code, you quickly realize you are not a
