Hello, dear friend. Welcome back. It's remarkable how much we take recognition for granted. A familiar face across a crowded room. A neighbor passing on the street. The person waiting for you at home. We look, and we simply know. But take that certainty away, and I imagine trust becomes a rather complicated thing. Today's acquisition, a small white envelope. No stamp. No return address. Inside, a handwritten note consisting of only three words. Thinking of you. Sweet. Perhaps. The account accompanying it is entitled, Don't Know You From Adam. Before we begin, I want to point out some of the customers whose names have been etched in brass on this beautiful plaque I had made above the front desk. These are some of the members of the inner circle of the Antiquarium.
We go by the Obsidian Covenant. Recent initiates include Cakey Lies, John Sowell, Nancy Flores, Riker Beaver, and Mia Nays. We are ever appreciative of your devotion to the Order. Go to theobsidiancovenant.com to receive the sacrament. Now, where were we? Oh, yes. welcome to the antiquarium of sinister happenings and odd goings on so
Even with my condition, I considered myself to be an ordinary housewife. I ran errands, cooked, cleaned, and made sure everything ran smoothly. I'm a homemaker, and I have no problem with that. I led a run-of-the-mill life and actually preferred the comfort and predictability my life entailed. There was one thing about me that separated myself from ordinary people. I have a rare condition called prosopagnosia that has left me unable to differentiate facial features. I feel like I have to explain this before I can continue on with my story to let you know how it feels to live with prosopagnosia. People don't call it face blindness without a reason. Imagine being unable to differentiate your significant other from a stranger at a glance.
The only way I can identify someone is by their voice and mannerisms. To be honest, that method is not foolproof, and every now and then I find myself talking to someone I don't know on the street or supermarket, mistaking them for a friend or a family member. Of course, you don't need to comprehend what it's like to be in my shoes to understand why I can no longer stand the idea of interacting with another person. It all started a month ago, when I began getting little letters in the mail. They started off as innocuous messages tucked into blank envelopes. Thinking of you.
How does Olivia explain her prosopagnosia and its impact on daily life?
You looked beautiful today. Your smile brightens up my day, and other notes like that. I thought it was my husband at first. He was always a bit shy. I personally think that he dealt with low self-esteem his entire life and was a bit hesitant to put himself out there.
He
was so nervous that when he asked for my hand in marriage, I almost had to finish the sentences for him so he could get his proposal out there. I figured that these little notes placed in the mailbox were his way of expressing his affections without putting himself out there. I waited for him to comment on the notes he was leaving me, but after a while it became apparent that he had nothing to do with them. I finally asked him about it, and he had no clue that I was even receiving messages. I was personally a little worried about it, since there was no return address that meant the mailman wasn't the one that was bringing them.
