judge parker level two

Today in Judge Parker…

WE ALL KNOW WHAT YOU DID TO SOPHIE!!! says Bunny. She is still hanging on to the car door, but it’s beginning to look more like a tire iron. Spencer’s mind is drifting… drifting…

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!! says Spencer, though she knows. Does she know? She thinks she knows. Oh god, please don’t hit me with the tire iron.

YOU WENT BALLISTIC AND BEAT HER UP FOR NO REASON!!! says Bunny, the larva in her ears quivering. All of a sudden she has no lower teeth and a dashing nose ring. Was the ring there before? wonders Spencer as she tries to make sense of what Bunny said. Spencer tries to reason but no, she keeps speaking. Must focus… cannot… focus…

SOPHIE’S A COOL KID, says Bunny. I DON’T LIKE PEOPLE WHO ABUSE HER!!!

The one-sided conversation is a mind-control tactic that Bunny picked up from her guerilla fighters in Central America. When they take prisoners they will talk to them incessantly, and slowly the captives begin to believe in the reality they speak. Speak gibberish and they believe in gibberish. Falsely accuse the prisoner enough and soon she herself will believe the accusations. Bunny is delaying Spencer from her needed therapy session, and given her already fractured mental state from the Little Sister Incident, Spencer is in no condition to resist mind games. She feels the leather serpent tighten around her neck. She needs air. Who is Sophie? Oh god, I can’t breathe. She will admit to anything if it means an escape from the PROBLEM IN THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT!!!

WHAT MAY HAPPEN TOMORROW YOU WONDER!! I WONDER TOO? EVERY DAY IS FULL OF WONDER IN THE WORLD OF JUDGE PARKER!!!!
