Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she went down to look about her, and to wonder what was going to happen next. Down, down, down but somehow, she knew she was not going to hurt herself when she landed. She would just leap straight to her feet and go into a corridor with locked doors on either side, and one small locked door hidden behind a curtain, and she would find a golden key that fit it perfectly but have no means of getting through. And she would cry, and there would be a mouse and a whole menagerie of other animals, and they would race to get dry and then she would have to give
The bed was narrow she had felt the springs coming up through the matress worn thin by many years of use and covered with old sheets and a filthy blanket. There was no other light in the room but the flickering lamp on the bedside table, but some of the light from the street lamps outside filtered through the moth-eaten curtains. The whole room smelled of stale air and under that, very faintly, she could pick up the sickening odour of faulty plumbing. But it was cheap and the door had a sturdy lock, and she was so very, very tired.

Du skriver navnet mitt med pensel langs underarmen din. Store bokstaver hele veien. På nytt og på nytt skriver du navnet mitt, med myk bust mot tynn hud. Usynlige bokstaver overlapper hverandre.

I am lucky.
I am lucky enough to see your smile, and hear your chiming laugh.
Spreading the joy. Sharing the tears.
I am lucky.
I am lucky enough to have you in my life.
You care for me when I cannot care for myself.
Open my eyes and make me see what has been staring me in the face.
I am lucky.
I am lucky for so many different reasons. Having different people in my life.

The Queen of the North with her beauty and her words.
The King of the Bronx with his strength and character.
The Welsh Splendour (who is not really welsh) with her unconditional friendship and good
