    "Watson finds herself looking for Moriarty, wondering who she’s gotten ensnared in her web, if it would lead it to her.

    She thinks she’s gotten it all backwards.

    Moriarty was interested in her."

    Summary

    You have to admit, some of those special effects were so scary-looking that you can understand why adults describe a great fondness for the shows of their childhood mixed with an overwhelming feeling of terror. In between discussions of the creepy puppets from "Outerscope" and the Sleestaks, "Candle Cove" comes up again and again.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    "The memories people had sounded so fucked up that I could hardly believe this show ever existed. Apparently, it was about a little girl that talked to pirates who floated around in their ship and seemed to spend a lot of time beached at a cave that was part of Candle Cove. Doesn't sound so bad so far. I could accept Pirate Percy, with his porcelain baby head. Whatever, puppets were cheap and gaudy back then. I could accept Horace Horrible, who was just a set of teeth and a moustache, and maybe a monocle above all that. Sounds like something you may see on a kid's show. What I couldn't believe was The Skin-taker. No fucking way would anyone ever put a character on a children's program that had a name like that. That wasn't even the end of it. Apparently, The Skin-taker had a cape that looked like it had been pieced together... out of skin.

    Yeah, I had to get to the bottom of this."

    Bookmarker's Notes

    They never told the stories right, but that was because they didn't want to scare the children. They wanted their children to be comforted and happy, but in protecting them they unwittingly made them vulnerable. The adults lied and lied and lied until the fiction became the truth, and people forgot that there really were monsters under the bed.

    He clenched every muscle to halt his movement, a tremendous effort; she was smiling, faintly, and he wanted to close that space on a level beneath conscious thought. She left him pierced on the hook a straining, drawn-taut moment. Then she looked away and the spell abruptly broke; he was off the desk and two feet away, breathing hard.

    She picked up her glasses and put them back on. Taking up the file again, she said, without looking up, "Now go away, 007. I'm busy."

    Bookmarker's Notes

    At supper that night, as usual, her family unit spoke about what they'd done that day, and discussed all of their feelings.

    When it was her turn, Fiona said, "There was a Release today."

    "Ah," her mother said, nodding. "I'm told the Ceremony of Release is supposed to be lovely."

    "It was," said Fiona, simply. "I felt happy, watching it."

    Lying was much easier than she had thought.
