I stopped in a parklet next to Glen Echo Creek to collect myself.
- Role: setting
- In the book: After the seizure she sits in the parklet, seeing the familiar scene in stark contrast to the possibility of nonexistence, then goes to the grocery store with a thousand-yard stare.
- Why it matters: A short aftermath beat; it conveys her shaken perception but the specific parklet is minor.
