"Be near me when my light is low "When the blood creeps and the nerves prick and tingle "And the heart is sick and all the wheels of being slow "Be near me when the sensuous frame is wracked with pangs that conquer trust "And time a maniac..." Tennyson "In Memoriam." A beautiful poem. Forgive me I didn't mean to startle you. Oh no. No no. I borrowed this book. I hope you don't mind. Oh no no. Please this is your home now. You are safe here. My brother will find me. He always does. How could he? Our location is a highly classified secret. Yes but I know of it now which means that he does too. We're twins. Even as children a link has bound us one to the other.
