Little Robert was often paranoid about being followed. Some days it was the CIA. Other days it was the Illuminati. Most days it was aliens from Other Earth. As much as I was used to Robert’s elaborate conspiracy outburst, something about his current episode felt different. It didn’t come from his schizophrenia. Or at least this time his voice seemed more coherent and less scattered. I believed him. So much so that I wondered if I was exhibiting signs of a mental breakdown. I have been beyond stressed out by financial woes caused by the unexpected loss of my husband. 30 years with the same person. Not once with anyone else. And suddenly he wakes up, asks for a divorce and leaves immediately with bags packed and loaded in his brand new Range Rover the night before. There were Absolutely no signs Joshua was unhappy. Absolutely no signs he was in love with another woman, he had been seeing for the over 2 years. So yes… I could be just as mentally unstable as Robert. Must be for me to absolutely believe every word he spoke to me 2 days ago. And now he is missing. Gone without a trace. There is no way he would leave without telling me. The last time he disappeared, he left me a letter. The time before he left me a long voicemail explaining his mission in graphic detail. It was disturbing and disorganized, as all of his stories are. This time was different. Our last conversation was coherent… Logical… And frighteningly and legitimately believable. Was I crazy too?
