Peace and Weer's Imagination

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

<<The haunted hotel that Weer's Aunt Bella describes in
her article "Ghost-Chaser Number Three" actually seems to be a case of a
temporal cross-over; perhaps Weer's haunting of his own past involves real
time travel.>>

This possibility recalls the possibility that Severian's rescuers in the inn
during the Age of the Monarch were himself.


<<Weer has been dead a long time, far too long for there to be much in the =
way
of mortal remains left, much less a corpse capable of undergoing rigor.>>

So Weer, as he is narrating _Peace_, is purely mind? And his "house" is sim=
ply
his means of exploring his memories, I guess.


<<Remember, the elm tree that was planted on his grave (after he died) has
become quite large and has fallen over.>>

I assumed it fell due to the storm that Weer reflects on in the beginning
paragraph.
