Supraliminal

Probably, but I’m only saying probably, not surely or definitely or certainly or even absolutely, but probably right before the myoclonic jerk. All at once I was stumbling, falling, or similar and subsequently woke up again, safe, I suppose, by my bed with my sheets and my blankets and my pillows and my— Under the bed, that’s where I keep it, or kept it, or keep it because I suppose it’s still there, I mean I haven’t moved it.
