Authors Note: We are not asked to be brought into this world. Those of us born with the weight of the world on our backs often never belong to anything or feel at home any where; like living anachronisms, but in our own time. According to Cambridge Dictionaries Online, the definition for anachronism is "a person, thing or idea which exists out of its time in history, especially one which happened or existed later than the period being shown, discussed, etc." With living anachronisms like myself in mind, I wrote this story while thinking of the song, "This Must be the Place (Naive Melody)" by the Talking Heads. Lyrics to "This Must be the Place (Naive Melody)" are at the end of Anachronism.
Genndy looked obviously upset all day. Finally, in her Biology class she shared with two of her best friends, Max and Liz, Genndy literally fell apart.

THIS MUST BE THE PLACE
(NAIVE MELODY)
By Talking Heads

Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me 'round
I feel numb-burn with a weak heart
(So I) guess I must be having fun
The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground
Head in the sky
It's okay, I know nothing's wrong...nothing

Hi yo, I got plenty of time
Hi yo, you got light in your eyes
And you're standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money
Always for love
Cover up and say goodnight...
Say goodnight

Home is where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there
I come home, she lifted up her wings
Guess that this must be the place
I can't tell one from another
Did I find you or you find me?
There was a time
Before we were born
If someone asks this is where I'll be...
Where I'll be

Hi yo, we drift in and out
Hi you, sing into my mouth
Out of all those kinds of people
You got a face with a view
I'm just an animal, looking for a home
Share the same space for a minute or two
And you love me 'til my heart stops
Love me 'til I'm dead
Eyes that light up
Eyes that look through you
Cover up the blank spots
Hit me on the head
Ah ooh...

(David Byrne and Talking Heads)
