Valentine, I had no idea
books had such different personalities.
:37:34
In the beginning...
:37:35
she found herself in a new and empty space.
:37:40
And all was white...
:37:42
and the corners were a bit flaky,
and the carpet was a bit manky...
:37:46
but it was a good space.
:37:48
And she sat in the center
and saw a clean white sheet of void.
:37:54
She held the charm to her face.
:37:57
And reflected in the charm
was a city of lost horizons...
:38:01
and tall and towering stories.
:38:04
And just as it had been reflected
in the charm...
:38:07
so it appeared in the void.
:38:10
And when there was no more room...
:38:12
she turned it over
and continued on the other side.
:38:16
So the void was filled
from corner to corner on both sides.
:38:21
A city of front and back.
:38:24
A city of light and shadow.
:38:27
Then she rested on her bed
and dreamed of her creation...
:38:31
and the lives that inabited it.
:38:35
And in the days that followed...
:38:36
there were other voids and other lights
and other shadows.
:38:41
The charm,
she placed beneath the sign of the queen...
:38:44
to show the city
that she knew it would never be finished...
:38:48
because the city was her life
and her dream...
:38:52
and it would live forever.
:38:55
Thank you, I think.
I'm not quite sure I understood it all.
:38:59
Yeah, well, who does? I certainly don't.
