Ed was so dumbstruck by the size of it — how could it be so big and come out of absolutely nowhere? — that he nearly forgot about the man on the road until Ed heard him cry out.
“I’m here!” The man raised his arms to the sky in supplication. His voice broke a little. “I’m ready! Take me!”
Ohhhh Stede wanting out of his life so badly that he is begging aliens to take him. 🥺🥺🥺
A whoosh of lavender hit Stede’s nose. Inside, there were little clear glycerin soaps, each with a tiny alien figurine trapped inside.
“These will do nicely, Olu, thank you.” Stede said, even though some part of him was distressed by the little figures trapped inside each bar of soap. How long would they have to wait to be freed from their glycerin prisons? How many showers? How many baths?
Ohh, bless. He apologizes to inanimate objects, I can tell.
So Stede doesn’t seem to remember being taken. Intriguing.
