Todd came around to stand beyond the woman and the frame, so that we had to talk over her prostate and bound body. Her head came up and I could see th...t she tried to listen to every word we said - her ears were flattened inside the leather hood.I wondered, not for the last time, whom she was?"... I guess your not interested in the hockey game huh?" I foresaw me sitting drinking a beer at the game myself - shit I hated going to a sports event alone. That image just made me angry - Todd had. And right from the firstday when I moved in with her, she did everything tomake me feel close to her. I’m sure she was wanting tohelp me to get through the trauma of loosing myparents. When bed time came, she had me sleep in herbed while she slept out on the chesterfield. Every night before she went to sleep, she would alwayscame into the bedroom where I was and used her bathroomacross from me. But for some reason when she did, shenever completely closed the door and I could hear. Everything seems normal and like before in the evening, the only difference is maybe my mother seems a little more affectionate and my dad sometimes looks over at me with a little indulgent look on his face and goes back to his newspaper. Yeah, he reads it on paper just like in the 20th century. Sometimes Mom goes first but tonight when I was ready I said goodnight and went to my old bedroom which is down the hall and around the corner from theirs. That's when I get my show. I can see into. . and I'd advise you not to dwell much on the pitiful remains of the poor folks that were stuck upon them. Here is the plan. Some of the captives are going to need help getting back to our boats, and it's going to be a very tight squeeze fitting everyone in just our two canoes. We had hoped to rescue more than just the dozen or so survivors that are left, so maybe we can make do with just finding another big canoe or two. You two men from Silana, go back to the canoes and keep them ready them.
