We’ve seen you before, but I doubt
Number 6 would remember the occasion. You were in Number 6’s cottage assisting ,
when the doctor-Number 40 was conducting another experiment with Number 6 in an
attempt to extract information, by using Number 42 as a communication medium.
Now you’re conducting word association tests with Number 6. So you work in the
psychologist department, or perhaps you are called upon when any number of
different tasks come along. And you’re working under a different doctor, Number
23, and yet she’s nothing more than the female equivalent of the male doctor
Number 40. I wonder what happened to him? Over stepped the mark once too many
times did he? Perhaps it’s not always desirable to be the boss, but to be one
of the minions, and an underling. At least that way you survive, after all
after Number 2, it’s the doctors who have the biggest turnover in personnel.
Even Number 1’s position might not be that secure!
I see from your results that you are getting some strange associations, from Number 6, the Hope And Anchor public house he knows from his school days. And free for all must still rancour with him after what happened. Anyway I’ll leave you to gaze lovingly into Number 6’s eyes. That’s the one thing that seems to be lacking in Number 6’s life, the love of a good woman. Number 8 is under the impression that she is that woman. Manufactured love, there’s nothing quite like it!

Thank God No. 6 isn't in the miserable position of Paul Sheldon and it isn't... We're not in a Stephen King film aren't we. ;-) - BCNU!
ReplyDeleteHello Arno,
DeleteIts been some years since I read Stephen King’s novel ‘Misery,’ but as I recall isn’t Paul Sheldon the main protagonist, just as Number 6 is the main protagonist in ‘the Prisoner,’ I draw no other comparison than that, except for one other, they are both prisoners of a sort!
Best regards
