noun — the sole lifeline in one's excursion into terra incognita, by the retracing of which one might theoretically return.
"What I am entering is a topography that won't lodge in memory. All that connects me to the world I've left is an extremely thin strand of attention, an Ariadne's thread of remembrance. A spectral filament linking me to a glimmer of basic sanity." — Darkness Shining Wild, Robert Augustus Masters, PhD
