Syl gives me a considering sort of look. Reckon she knows a thing or two.
"...when'd it start gettin' funny, 'zactly?"
"Hard to say," I say, thoughtfully. "One of those things you don't really notice until it's been weird a while, you know? Like one day you look at it and think shit, that's strange but it's probably been like that for weeks..." I scratch my beard. "Thinking on it... Probably a year, maybe more. Started cropping up now and again in my dreams about then, but not often enough for me to pay much mind to it. Maybe I should've," I say, with a frown. "But... Not saying you folk had anything to do with it, but I think it got weirder when the carnival arrived." I think. "Was about then that lots of people had the dream. Did any of the carnival folk have it? Red and blue cities?" I say. "That was a weird experience. My goddess brought the dream, but to what end apart from to warn us of the bad shit in the tower, I dunno." Pause and wonder about what I'm saying next, but hell, Syl's suggested she's seen stuff, and she don't seem like the type to up and faint. "Other weird stuff going on too. Somone raised the dead out in the cemetery. Didn't go well." Pause again. "Been told the Devil lives in the tower. Wasn't even minded to believe in him before all this, but now... When I dream of the water tower, it looks like dead flesh." Shiver a bit at the memory of that.
