{Number 6 – Once Upon A Time}
Of course he’s five, that came about when Number 2 and the Supervisor
were checking the profundity, with the Supervisor counting slowly from one to
five and then holding in five five five five five, loudly on five, then more
softly five five five until it was over and Number 6 became 5. But is that his
number as in “Five that’s me,”, or the age of five to which his mind had been
regressed, remembering that at the age of five would be when he first went to
school. Or it could be both, depending on how you look at it. I suppose it
wasn’t 1 that the Supervisor had been told to hold on one one one one one that
would mean Number 6 saying “one that’s me!” Which might have been apt the way
things turned out, but completely useless to Number 2, and yet he had been left
holding the baby so to speak!
Be seeing you
