Train. Bell.
27 - 3 = 24
Then what???
Trouble's been a good front, I guess. Pretty stable, if a little unfriendly. S/he likes packing lunches the night before. S/he likes numbers. S/he likes making the till balance. S/he's been good. Like most dungeon, she likes being the biggest kid in the pool. Calypso too.
For years we've skated around the idea of Pia returning. Sometimes when writing S. (our novel) we felt her presence in a character. The dream of fish and bean sprouts up on the coast where it's hot, in the shack.... she liked the sound of that. The isolation, the madness, the slight desperation.
Is it our choice? Or is that just a story we tell each other?
Just as a child might believe that the train come because the bell rings.
