The Day’s of his Lives Scene 211

I knew she was talking about me though, because she kept looking over at me when she said it. She got an evil grin when she said, “I’ve subjected him to repeated treatments to make final downward adjustments to his age and arrest his development permanently”. She also said words like “revenge”, “liar” and “cowardly fool” with a frown on her face. It scared me a lot and I started to cry. She picked me up, sat me on her lap and let me lay my head against her breast while she talked on the white thing. She looked down on me and said that “I’ve taken care of him” and “he’ll be a baby for the rest of his life”. That made me feel good again. She talked and talked, saying things like “complete and total regression to infancy” and “accelerating mental deterioration”. I fell asleep again in her lap.
