"Every man is broken into twenty-four-hour fractions, and then again
within those twenty-four hours. It's a daily pantomime, one man yielding
control to the next: a backstage crowded with old hacks clamoring for
their turn in the spotlight. Every week, every day."
Memento Mori,
the short story which inspired the cracking nature-of-identity
thriller Memento. As well as adding intriguing flesh to
some of the film's backplot and subliminals, it'll also spoil the
plot if you've not seen it. But the film will spoil the plot of the
story as well.

has a fine picture of a vampire egg, if you hold the front
page to sunlight. (And, optionally, stake it.)
