‘Today,’ he said,
‘I will affect small change.
She won’t even
(will she? if she does?) notice’
Elsewhere there is a girl as young as you are now.
There is no mirror where she is.
‘What will I do to surprise her (what if she knows?
and what if she guesses?) ?’
He picks up a jar filled with teeth and it jangles as he shakes it.
Elsewhere there is a girl as young as you are now.
She doesn’t speak unless spoken to.
And that ‘s
worse.
(quietly. it must be done quietly.)
Chant sing-song twitter away and
clap your hands.
(and perhaps... ?)

I am in love with your series. I am in awe of your talent. Shocking, but not suprising.
We should have a sleep over soon, seeing as I do miss you. -
No fair! No fair! Intrigue was one thing, but we've been dangling on this string for sooooo long, and now instead of clarity we get enigma and yet more intrigue. Is he planning on a new captive.... what is the significance of the 'jar full of teeth' ... who is this girl who doesn't speak .. and why...????
I guess this is what makes the Wednesday series so compulsive.... but it still ain't fair!!
