Reed. Many thanks for your offer. But I’m not sure how much use I will be to the group in my current state. Physically I’m fine. But my armor has gone. I do not have my equipment. Or anonymity.
These things have been stolen from me. My resolve to fight is strong, but my ability has never been weaker.
I saw yesterday’s post. All of you are beginning to function well together. The dynamic is taking shape. I fear my intrusion will only serve to place your strengthening bonds off balance.
To join is to disrupt.
For this is not something she will do. And though she longs to remember the comforts of friendship, she cannot risk the lives of others in the process. Her enemy pursues her with more fervor than before. These nemeses will stop at nothing to see she is once again locked in their dungeons for another eternity. To bear such a horror a second time is beyond her imagination. So she will continue to run.

But what am I running toward?

The others in HoN will help. But I'm not sure what I can do. -- Maggie
why the shift to the third person near the end?
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of the "princess narration" in Saturday's videos.
ReplyDeleteIt means Maggie is a few short of a dozen.
ReplyDeleteI think it was purposely done.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting that maggie asks "but what am i running towards?"
Yeah, with her abduction and experiences while incarcerated, methinks some of Maggie's marbles are AWOL.
ReplyDeleteI think that the first-person is her 'Maggie' persona whereas the third-person is her 'Hymn-of-None' persona. In other words, she's focusing on her emotions in the first-person and focusing on her goals in third-person.
ReplyDeleteOf course, the lack of marbles is probably what led to this separation of self and purpose. ;)
She is a princess. Doesn't royalty talk in the third person.
ReplyDeleteWow. Maggie writes in short sentences. Just like Jonas. Must be destiny. Should be together forever.
ReplyDeleteSouthSideHope suggested in chat that the Saturday script perhaps got mixed into / was translated into the Thursday post.
