The January Tenth Variations
Kimi K2 (0711) and Davinci 002
The photograph was dated three years from now. She turned it over, expecting her mother's handwriting, and found her own. Written in her own hand was the cryptic message:
On the tenth of January that year, she discovered what the photograph was.
On the tenth of January, eight years later, she returned to the office of Judge Hearst and placed a file into his hands, and told him what he knew and what he would find when he looked in the file.
On the tenth of January this year, the newspaper reported the death of Paul Malloy, who died in his sleep at age eighty-seven.
THE END
I wait eagerly for further comments, suggestions, and constructive criticism.
I will be eternally grateful to anyone who could divine the meaning of those weird images of hierarchy. (There are always hints, and it has to do with power relationships.) I also, of course, hugely appreciate the time and attention you have already bestowed on this story. And... does anyone else see the little impish fellow accompanying her through the story? Of *course* there's an impish fellow. It's me, nodding strongly in agreement with Porter.
