I mean who wants to think that they were led along like a puppy? But she was right how could I not? I’d taken on a five-hundred-ton machine for the chance to see a cloth covered mammary or two. But those you encountered could have made you believe just about anything…couldn’t they? How could you know you weren’t being manipulated? I’m not doubting what you believe you heard, Azile started, shaking me out of thoughts revolving around a rosebud decorated training bra. Well, it was fodder enough for many a night, so I guess it worked out better than being scattered across a train track. I mean, I didn’t get hit by the train so that was a plus, but as for the bra, she pulled up her sweater and dropped it back into place so fast I hardly got a glimpse of some frilly pink material covering her budding breasts.

If I remember correctly, that was the year I raced a train across a trestle in the hopes that I would get to see Meghan Grendler’s bra. When’s the last time I could really say that? When I was fourteen, maybe? And even that was questionable. "If you’re to believe me? What the hell does that mean? I was dead Azile, and soulless yet here I am, mostly intact." Sure, I was of sound body and soul, but it would be a stretch to say I was of sound mind. This was my brain, so how vital could it be?Īre you sure you heard him? If I’m to believe everything you told me, then Tommy is in the underworld. I think she was looking for signs of the blood clot that was even now cutting off vital blood flow to some part of my brain. Like pretty much normally, she looked at me like I was nuts.

That I’d awoken to something strange, that she and everyone else in the room were under an enchantment, about the raven, and the message. I’d told her everything that had happened. When the raven left, there was a loud popping as if it had created a vacuum between the worlds it inhabited, and by leaving, the bubble burst. Maybe it was a split second after I heard Tommy begging for help or maybe it had been twelve and a half hours as I sat on the floor in a catatonic stupor, but Azile, the babies, Oggie, and even the fucking cat all woke at the same time.
