I think I have a general direction for Red, Ben and Jimmy starting tomorrow now, so let's see where we end up again :) As for today... well, I think this week and next week should be setting up ready for Part 3.

Scrutiny
Red opens an eye as she enters his room
And closes it smoothly; Emma doesn’t like scrutiny.
He lets her shake him ‘awake’ and show him the plans
And blinks twice when she says, “well, this is all new to me.”

Scrutiny

The sensation of being scrutinized

Shadows enshroud the soul
Paralysis grips the body
Unease permeates the fabric of time
All forged in the mirror of a conscious mind

Greg - ehhh, maybe it'll have to wait one more day :P

Anything, generally speaking, that would be useful as a prompt for starting things off? Or do I just get to pick whatever and you're stuck with it, as usual? :)

The relationship between Red and Emma continues to be my favorite part of Tagged related stories, and it shows up here again. I'm glad they're back together again.

Rehan - really like your word choices here. Thanks for sharing this with us and I hope we get to see more of your work here :)
