Observation
Hundreds of Observations and yet not a single one about this book. Discarded and forgotten. I wonder what secrets it holds - what stories it could tell. How long has it sat here in the muck? What does the number 7 signify? It's old and worn, but it looks like it held value to someone or something at one time, a reader cared enough to use a bookmark. This book is shrouded in mystery, and the scholar in me wants to know more.
Replies by this mask
- 'The eyes reappear' and now stare back, saddened that you traded your originality and potential for the words of another. Direct from the pages of The Hollow Men by T.S. Eliot.
- Is she reading the book or was it left there by someone else? Has the book plunged her into ecstasy or agony? Everything is a mystery with the Masquerade.
- The rightful inhabitant of Frogland reveals himself.
Revision
Others have considered the number seven but none of the theories speak to me. The meaning will remain a mystery for now.
