Young Leon and Ursula had little except each other. Mother was driven by a psychotic need to cleanâconstantlyâeverything in sight. Father was consumed by his medical practice and an analytical approach to life. But he understood the sensual hunger growing inside his childrenâs young bodies. He knew they could help each other answer, âThe Need.â Father had Science. Father had Reason. And he had Pin.
Pin who answered all the childrenâs questions in a voice not unlike the doctorâs. Fatherâs clever trick. Fatherâs brilliant illusion. But then there was the accident and Mother and the doctor were dead. Still there was Pinâwho had so much to tell then even yetâŠwhose enigmatic stare held such wisdom. There would just be the three of them now. Quiet Leon, beautiful and frightened Ursula, and wise, implacable Pin. They were all each of them would need. Ever.
