Three - The Cure

«No,"I said, my face close to the ground, «I'll stay as I am.»

«You really can annoy a person, I must say.

You’re very observant,"said I, my head on the seam of his

trousers, which was why I couldn’t look up properly.

I won’t scream, I’ll just stare at him as long as my eyes can stand it.

«Well?"he said.

«Well?"he said.

«Well?"he said.
