Success Is Counted Ironic

So I was not able to write into existence another year's worth of salary on-island for myself, but I was able to write into existence a salary for someone who by definition, must not be me- which is to say the island will have a new Island Institute Fellow next year for comprehensive planning. At least one application I penned was successful. The new Fellow will live in this house, will work on the committee I have been working for (in my spare time), will wear my title.

New blood will be good for the island.

I knew as I wrote the application that I was essentially displacing myself.
