Chapter sixteen is long, also.
I have figured out two things about Bella and Chain that I did not know before: the more or less true identity of the anonymous omniscient narrator, and the significance of the dog named Monkey (I know it's a dumb name, and I tried to get rid of it, but niw I'm glad I didn't, because as it turns out there's even an excuse for the dumb name).
I have alkso been bitten by another story -- of which I will only say this: why are Snow White's seven little men living in a secret house in the forest, and working in a mine nobody else knows about? I know. I know everything about them, I think. I also know that that deer heart the forester brought to Snow White's stepmother was not a deer heart. You know, "tier" in German means "animal." But that heart was only an animal heart if you think that people outside of your own tribe are not people but animals.
It's not a happy story, I don't think, but it might be fun in that way that (excuse me, James) Buffy stories can be fun.
All this, but I still don't know what's what with Afterwar. I had an idea the other day but I misplaced it.
on entirely other fronts, it did precipitate yesterday but not enough and the current storm at sea is not coming close enough either. So no First Flush for a while yet.
And another thing -- everybody go read Ruth Ozeki's All Over Creation. I may change my opinion after I finish it. But it sure does do culture clash, agricultural policy, and mother love pretty well.
