Tokyo Hilton
She knew that others were suffering, but for the moment, her pillows fluffed, her coffee done exactly the way she loved it and brought to her bedside, she felt she was at the Tokyo Hilton, and the world was at peace.

The James Taylor Prophecy

"She's been afraid to go out
She's afraid of the knock on her door"
"She's been afraid to go out
She's afraid of the knock on her door"
Lying in bed, fearful of leaving her apartment, waiting for a stranger to deliver her dinner, the song came up.
'It's the James Taylor Prophecy', she thought, 'I'm afraid to go out, I'm afraid of the knock on my door, always a shade of a doubt, I can never be sure, who comes to call. Maybe the friend of a friend of a friend. Anyone at all. Anything but nothing again.'
