once upon a time there was a girl so sensitive to the universe that she was born feeling the earth spin. because of this, she always felt like she was rushing toward something far, far in the distance, and always in the same direction. she became really good at things like hiking and driving, because, as her mother said, it was like she had her own internal compass. of course, her mother didn't know that her daughter felt like she was constantly falling sideways- all she knew was that ever since she was a baby, her little girl had known exactly which way she was going.
for the girl, every thought was in terms of with, against, or beside. it's hard to say whether or not she realized that she was different from other people in this way. so many people think in terms of with/against, although of course, not quite as literally as she did, that she could get along with most people just fine without ever noticing the difference.
tbc.
just fyi, the idea came more from here

than from Dr. Who, although he does mention feeling the world turn. =)
Also, I don't think I'll ever actually continue this, so whoever reads this, feel free to think up the rest of it. :P
