And it would be in coincidence with the notion of the Village as a surreal entity, in some way or the other. We've discussed such issues. It would also lift "our" Prisoner into the realm, virtual reality, covered by the P09 wouldn't it. - BCNU!nr6dehttp://www.nummer6-theprisoner.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-77113089695703159702015-04-14T08:44:07.850+01:002015-04-14T08:44:07.850+01:00Hello Arno,

I hadn't thought of those aboard the Stone boat as playing games, other than simply clambouring about the boat.<br /> Its always possible that the ex-Admiral and his friend have been treated in some way to disclose, in a playful way, the manner of secrets inside their head. But personally I prefer the idea that the ex-Admiral and his friend have reached the stage of second childishess as in the seven ages of man, seen playing sandcastles and with a plastic boat.<br /><br />Very kind regards<br />David<br />BCNUDavid Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-71393914654319156132015-04-13T09:39:13.471+01:002015-04-13T09:39:13.471+01:00In one of Philip K.

Unaware that he, in - perhaps a different - reality, is a (if I'm not mistaken) nuclear scientist. Thus, the crossword puzzles serve as a disguise and a protection of some kind. In "Arrival" we can see several Villagers enjoying hide-and-seek games or catch-me-if-you-can on the Stone Boat, in "Checkmate we have the two mentioned above. Couldn't it be they've been treated some way to eventually disclose in a playful manner what secrets there are in their heads? - BCNU!nr6dehttp://www.nummer6-theprisoner.denoreply@blogger.com
