The numbers, they have disappeared,
with music left behind,
and all the words of others
taking over Charlie's mind.

Original story: Simplify the World by serotonin_storm
Notes: First, many thanks to my betas, melissima and lauriegilbert. Second, I have incorporated some lines from poetry into Charlie's thoughts and the narrative. In order of appearance, those poems are: The Second Coming by William Butler Yeats; Song of Myself by Walt Whitman, The Bells by Edgar Allan Poe; Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night by Dylan Thomas; the To be or not to be soliloquy from Hamlet; Because I could not stop for Death by Emily Dickinson; Fog by Carl Sandburg; Mad Girl's Love Song by Sylvia Plath; Alone by Edgar Allan Poe; The Brain is wider than the Sky by Emily Dickinson; Not Waving but Drowning by Stevie Smith; The Lamb, The Tyger, and Auguries of Innocence all by William Blake. Fourth, yes, I am such a geek as to write the summary in iambic tetrameter.
