"I mean..." It never really needed a name, did It? It was always just that thing, or that person, or any number of things. Naming It had felt like - like some form of mental surrender, in some ways. Like being able to call It something made it more real, solidified Its presence in their heads, in their lives. Like an admission of their own guilt.
"I thought that...the totheark person, didn't they call it...?"
He knows the word they used. But even that had felt like a step too far.
