Who killed J.R.

Ah, I believe there was once a television series dealing with something like this. Whithering Heights, or the Westing game .... The second may have been a book actually. People do enjoy a good family taboo. A daughter from another mother, a brother and sister's forbidden love. A woman with a love for a man who is not her husband. On paper or film it is always so interesting. In facts it is a bit disturbing.

I think that may be the reason for the love of it. Everyone enjoys a good taboo. Myself not withheld from the statement. I did read both Madam Bovary and Tom Jones. The later twice.

I remember Amanda, a very good friend from times long since past. She always enjoyed these sorts of things. I would sit with her and watch them. More for support of her secret habit then for any real need of it myself. I had my science fiction and fantasy already. Adding that would have been far too dangerous. Mrs. Klein would have surly discovered and removed them all from me. I wonder how she is today. She would have been nearly twenty-eight as well. Or would it be twenty-seven? I have had a year more then the rest. I wonder if that will make me simply twenty-seven when the time comes, or will I be older still? Not that time matters much to me anymore.

I think it may be time to change my reading. I ought to offer Bovary to Mat. It would be interesting to hear his thoughts on it. Or Rose. Both would be exceptionally interesting. I shall have to look into a directory of books which I was keeping and decide what not to think on the next time I visit the library. perhaps in honor of this curse I will re-read Tom Jones.

City, deities, please remember that there are children here who ought not be subjected to a curse such as this. There is pain enough for them within the City. There need not be added scars upon their hearts. As for those I can keep care of, please tell me how you are doing today.

uncursed, family values, curse
