Ball-points, though less bold, have their own lore. They always work well in structured environments full of forms and charts and whatnot; they reek of office work and documentation. Have you ever seen a salesperson at Macy's fill in a tri-copy receipt with anything but a ball-point, sometimes engraved with the manager's son's little league team slogan, squeezed between well-manicured fingernails?

Memory is distorted, especially with an overwhelming experience; it's distorted, but there's something about an overwhelming experience, whether it's child abuse or whatnot, that has a powerful connection to reality. It's a process of rediscovering. I mean you may not get it right the first time, but you don't just give up right away; you keep trying when it's that kind of a powerful memory...Most of the writers reflect this process of trying to get at [the experience].
