Some New Number 2

In a weeks time I've earned my turn as Number two! The identity of number 1 has eluded me thus far, but, as he only communicates via an eye portal in the wall and calls on the Alexander Graham Bell device, a cake of soap for the eye and a few wire snips soon sorted that out. I rule with gentle hand (tucked into a fist of iron, of course.) Having edicted the anassing of mouse-heads, and broken more prisoners than really required, I find myself somewhat at ease, ruling in the Genius doctor's name! Bwuhahaha!!

There is some dissent though, amongst the Village People. One in particular, a catty one (not in a good sense) acts as if she owns the place. Her impertinence annoys me.

I've settled into a cozy relationship with one of the rover devices- they're remarkably sensitive and enjoyably brutal! We go for long rolls on the beach, evenings spent not-too-close to the fire, and skulking after escapees! very nice!

Another sip of brandy before a delightful smother...what's this? Rather too earthy..the room spins! That catty woman! Drugged!....

Darkness washes over me again....

Cough! Cough!

Curses. Still in this pit!

For weeks now...entombed alive. Living off of earthworms and ground water...an occasional rodent (Five, me mousie friend escaped safely, I hope; he scampered off many days ago, after he saw me scarf that marmoset.) I drift in and out of hallucination, nightmares dance before my eyes-

(Cato's Hallucination, as performed by The Cure-)

Lime green lime green lime green and tangerine

Are the sickly sweet colours of the snakes I'm seeing

Lime green lime green and tangerine

Are the sickly sweet colours of the devil in my dreams

It gets to Friday and I give you a call

"You know I'm getting kind of worried

No she doesn't seem herself at all...

Lime green and a sickly kind of orange

I've never seen her like this before..."

I had the best laid plans this side of America!

Started out in church and finished with Angelica

Red and blue soul with a snow white smile

"Can you dig it?"

I had the best laid plans this side of America

Started up in church and finished with Angelica

And now I dig it in the dirt

And I'm down here for a while...

Down here for a while...

You've got to make up your mind and make it soon

Is there room in your life

For one more trip to the moon?

Is there room in your life...For one more?

Burn red burn red burn red burn red and gold

Are the deep dark colours of the snakes I hold

Burn red burn red burn red and gold

Are the deep dark colours of the devil at home

She pulls me down just as I'm trying to hide

Grabs me by the hair and drags me outside

And starts digging in the dirt...

For a not so early bird it's the only way

For her to get the worm

I had the best laid plans this side of America

Started out in church and finished with Angelica

Red and blue soul with a snow white smile

"Can you dig it?"

I had the best laid plans this side of America

Started out in church and finished with Angelica

And now I dig it in the dirt

And I'll be down here for a while...

"Hello? are you still there?"

...And much too late..."

... Sorry... wrong number..."

Hrmmm? What's That?! A light???
