Walking Dead


Daughter tells her that it's related to her double-thick eyelashes, but Fiorella has heart problems.  It's only because of an artificial aortic valve, which protects her from congestive heart failure, and a pacemaker, which keeps her heart in lock-step, that Fiorella still treads this earth.

But is this the real Fiorella or some kind of golem?  Is Fio who she thinks she is, or merely an expression of her former self?

The walking dead are among us, and Fiorella is one of them,

Individual Perception

Are people other than Fiorella real?  Or is everyone else a Golem, a simulacrum, a souless stage prop? After all, if everyone else is also real, why is it that Fiorella knows only what she is thinking and not what anyone else is?  

Maybe Fiorella is all alone in the universe and everyone else in a product of her ever-fertile imagination. Or maybe the whole universe is.
