She started to speak 1 1/2 year ago, and no it was not Cthutuloid ramblings... Now however, she has developed a tongue speed from hell. Speaking faster that the words can come out, talking with herself and imaginary animals and friends... a certain small pig is currently a re-ocuring theme and it seems to get lost quite often, running away from her and hiding. I've become more and more positive this pig is up to some malice when she is not looking cause things are starting to disapear, or not being where we left them, shifting around. Maria says its Alice who does this... but I'm not so sure... I don't trust imaginary pigs they can be quite an anoyance. Especially when Alice claims it is small enoug to be scooped up in her little hand or hidden in her pocket. It strikes me that it doesn't have a name, this pig. Probably working under cover, not wanting to give the game away to easily, even if Alice told me a name it would probably be an alias or nom de guerre... blasted pigs... I swear to god... one of these days... I have trouble sleeping these days, cause the footfalls of the pig prwoling around in our apartement is keeping me awake, I have no idea what it is up to, but I bet it is evil... cunning. I have even tried to sneak up at night to catch it unawares, but it is quicker than anything I've ever seen, cause when I switch the lightbulb it is not there anymore... always hiding, leaving a draft, or flapping curtain behind. Come to think of it, it could very well be invisible all together. Alice holds it in her hands some times patting its back she claims... but I cannot see it. Lack of sleep is doing funny things to me... I'm starting to hear the pig talking in the night... telling me to sleep. But I fear the pig now... it has almost supernatural powers... what does it want? Why me? It doesn't tell me, when I ask and Maria tells me to go back to sleep next to me, and I feel stupid... if only she knew about the pig I think she wouldn't sleep so well either... this cannot go on... something has to give...
