Ryan Rudnicki is an illusion. There is an idea of a Ryan Rudnicki, of an elusive figure that speaks in a fathomless baritone and makes up another fifth of the Todd Road Dynasty. Yet, that idea only inhabits the most tenebrous expanses of my memory. It is and it isn’t. It beckons to me from the slippery alleys of my nightmare streets, and, when I finally muster enough courage to step forward into that dreamt darkness, I find nothing. Only cobblestone slicked dangerous by acidic rain, a dumpster, a cold wind speckled with evil, sonorous laughter. When asked whether I know Ryan Rudnicki, I feign rumination, maybe relate a grainy recollection of backyard football, or knee-drops, or hangover mornings, or the Christian Bale Batman voice. Slowly, I remember. In that instant, there is a Ryan Rudnicki, and he is my friend, and every shared experience, from two-year-old swimming lessons to marathon beach sessions twenty year later returns to me as only the forgotten truly can. I almost smile, and, as quickly as he materialized, he is gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.
