 Rather a lot of children in the castle now, aren't there? [Will pauses, and then continues with a small laugh.]

Not even my family ever had quite this many.  Even from what I remember of my older brother's stories. Of course I was the youngest, so I've never been around kids much.  But I guess I could still offer my help.

[Another pause, as Will thinks over his words.]

There is one other thing, I suppose.  I've been thinking a lot recently over some questions. Has anyone ever wondered what happens to a story what it finishes?  What the people in a story do in the after?

Don't think I've ever thought about liking one answer better. Its one of those things that simply is.

Really? I think having a favorite answer can be fun too.

Re: Dictated

I suppose I like the idea that there can be some questions that have no true answer.

That seems overly complicated to me.

Re: Dictated

I quite like complicated, sometimes.

But why? Complicated makes my brain hurt.

Re: Dictated

Life is complicated, isn't it? Somehow, an answer that is just as complicated feels more real.

But why does it have to be complicated? Why can't life just be simple?

It never has been.

That doesn't mean it shouldn't be.
