memories; and as with writing; as you looked at them; they spoke。

I’d  lost  myself  in  the  pictures。  I  understood  from  the  scent  of  Orhan’s

beautiful  head;  upon  which  I’d  rested  my  nose;  that  he;  too;  was  looking  at

that odd and suspicious Red。 As occasionally happened; I had the urge to take

out  my  breast  and  nurse  him。  Later;  when  Orhan  was  frightened  by  the

terrifying picture of Death; gently and sweetly breathing through his reddish

lips; I suddenly wanted to eat him。

“I’ll eat you up; do you understand me?”
