7428. SO THE SUTURED COLLAR FITS

SO THE SUTURED 

COLLAR FITS

'And just so you know, you're going to be

on your own now, Tinkerbell.  I won't have 

the means to answer you, the wallpaper will

bear funny pictures, and they'll  -  at first  -  

make little sense to you. But you'll catch on.'

-

I found that to be a message from God or perhaps

some other distant entity who put me here; so I

read it a few times with more than the usual care.

It made sense : a paucity of words, a succinct and

direct manner. I immediately sensed I understood.

-

It was all just a feeling anyway  -  there were hundreds

of other faces around me, immediately  -  and some

were quite fetching and attractive too. From others,

I recoiled, without ever knowing why. I guess it's

just like that here always.

-

This is what they term, in their service ward, 'free will.'

Odd that this 'God' thing put it instead as simply:

'You're going to be on our own now, and I 

won't have the means to answer you.'
