The Fabulous Idiot
- We meet the idiot. His hunger and fear control his life. His face is described as dead. He doesn't get the significance of words and can't anticipate anything. People sometimes beat him up. Poor guy.
- But he's got a handy-dandy mind-power. His eyes allow him to force others to help him stay alive. His irises spin like wheels when he does this.
- He's got something inside him he doesn't know about. It's like a radio receiver that only records. Something's important about this dude.
- Now we run into all these confusing italics. They're the formless feelings or messages of babies that Lone's receiver records, if they could be expressed in words.
