Ghosts of Punktown (32 page)
Had it only been her imagination that, while it had briefly perched atop one of the encased bodies, the bulb had paused to regard her in turn? Ah, but it was a human trait to anthropomorphize things. Things such as plants and machines.
Inasmuch as it was possible that the Jungle, and Punktown, could sleep – they slept.
Hanako didn’t know how long it would be before her system shut down entirely. An hour, a month, a year? If an extended measure of time, she didn’t mind. Her only real ambition had been to make her existence as comfortable as possible, and this was a quiet place, a peaceful place -- like a secret garden.
