At the front desk, Zara asked to use the phone. The host almost pointed to a phone not at the front desk then changed his mind when he recognized the young Prescott woman. He knew her only from her reputation. Everyone adored her. He could see why. ...

... Zara dove long and swam under water to the end of the pool. Suzanna watched Zara turn around and stay under water and first surface when she was back where she started. She looked like she was moving slowly and effortlessly.
“Are you coming.”
“Just about.”

Zara had to run. She wasn’t hungry but she needed to feed. Usually she could go three or five days without thinking about feeding. She could go home, eat and come back, but there was no live food at home. She would have to hunt again. She hated being so distracted. ...

... and scrambled over the back of the bench trying to keep his hand against the face of the mad bitch where he knew his thumb must be. But he was sprawled over the bench and she was above him, looking down with two black holes where her eyes should have been.

Zara took her clothes off to avoid getting blood on her clothes. It usually confused her food. She smiled her killer smile. The smile of shy innocence. She was an innocent naked virgin in the woods. A dream in a dream. It was that magical thing ...

... Zara wasn’t sure what just happened but she was relaxed again. She continued her run and ran until she was dripping wet before running up to the hotel, up the stairs to their room and into the shower. She hesitated before crawling back into bed. Suzanna looked like an angel. Zara felt like a monster.

Saturday, as a rule that was seldom broken, was the day for breakfast with Zara and her father. Zara had another quick shower after making cuddle love to the somewhat drowsy little angel in her, their, big bed. ...

... “You should be a silly girl. What better time than when you are a girl. What are the silly girls doing for fun today.”
“I think we’ll just be silly. Maybe go to the zoo or something. Or the gardens.”
“You get back up there to Suzanna. I’ll go see what our friend has to say.”

Sally was trying to write a story about writing a story.
It’s a bit like fishing, writing is. You throw out your line, pull it in, throw it out, pull it in. Sometimes you fish for hours without a bite other than flesh eating flies and mosquitoes. Then you get a bite just when you were about to give up and paddle back to shore. ...

... “West Virginia. We’ll just go. Pack a few things and get in the car and drive. See what happens or what we do. Billy will know directions to take and what cabin to book. Do you prefer lakes or rivers.”

After they had finished their sparse breakfast, Zara hugged her father and took the elevator back up to the room feeling delighted that she was going to spend some hanging out time with Suzanna. She couldn’t even think to think she couldn’t ...

... Suzanna spoke and reminded Zara that things were as they were. She was indeed starting a conversation with the young woman she had just recently seen. She smiled back.
“You look ready to go. Shall we go.”
“I’m ready.”

Zara’s father left out the front door. His driver held the car door opened and leaned against the side of the car.
“Mr. Prescott, I seen your daughter last night.” ...

... He didn’t even ask where they were going. As a rule, Prescott went to his flat after his Saturday lunch with his daughter.
“Stanfield. Take me to the office.”
“Okay. Mr. Prescott.”

Sally was alone in their cabin while Caprice and Billy were off on a hike through the woods. Sally simply wasn’t up for moving about. She sat on the balcony and decided to give the fish story another attempt. ...

... it was yummy. I have since never forgotten that fish. Sometimes, when I wonder if I should take the risk to do something not according to the accepted norm, I often think of that fish. And just do it.

Zara and Suzanna left for the Central Park Zoo. Zara was pleased that Suzanna didn’t chose shopping. Shopping on a Saturday was not easy for her or for that matter, any Anthropophagus. For older Anthropophagi it wasn’t too bad. Many of them could go many days without fresh meat. Some could get by with very little ...

... “I love your brain.”
“Thanks Zara. It is true. It really is that big a thing.”
“I know it when you say it.”
