ah. well, i don't know if we've got any of those around here, then -- i mean, some people've died two, three times a week. and then there are the ones who come in dead, you know ... are you? *smiles helpfully* dead, that is.
...Not dead. Just lost. Have you had the telescreens shut off around here? I need decent hiding areas. *looks down at his 'VICTORY GIN' flask* ...Not to mention decent gin.
Typist: WE ARE THE DEAD. I worried for our youth. This is why I brought lovely George Orwell into the picture. This is one sekrit I really can't afford to spill.
The thing I'm afraid of? Rats. ROOM 101 BITCH. (As typist adds in 'bitch' for effect) Being found out. Being caught.

M. Smith,
I am far behind in my greeting duties, but your plight came to my attention even here. Please be assured your Big Brother isn't here. That's not to say you're completely safe, but your old enemy isn't to be feared. I hope you find a home here. Feel free to write or call. I am currently living with my sister and her husband at Blakeney Manor near Richmond, England.

*blinks* If you will calm yourself and explain what you are afraid of, I might be able to answer your questions.

Yet it's the one thing I yearn for, so much.

Caught by whom? Found out for doing what? And why would you yearn for it?
