If a book were written all in numbers, it would be true. It would be just. Nothing said in words ever came out quite even. Things in words got twisted and ran together, instead of staying straight and fitting together. But underneath the words, at the center, like the center of the Square, it all came out even.

You can crave blood and not eat your best friend. ↗

I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling alittle different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is, Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle! ↗
