The Schizoid Man

    Every citizen and citizeness in The Village are known by their numbers, unless a number is sub-divided as in 113, 113b, and 113c. On occasion names are used. In The Village numbers are more individual than names, seeing as there can only be one of any number used at any one time. Unless of course a number is sub-divided as in 113, 113b, and 113c, or a number ceases to exist because the person has died, as with Number 113 who was an old lady who died a month ago. So really it’s no wonder Number 6 was so determined not only to prove his identity, but to maintain it!
