(1) The words pour out of her like vomit. (2) She can't hear them, only taste them, bitter and foul and jagged. (3) They catch in her throat, making her gag and retch again. (4) Her stomach muscles ache for hours afterwards, and her throat is always raw. (5) She has no voice of her own; it's been eaten away by the acid of the oracle. (6) She would stop if she could, but it's not her choice, any more than it was her choice to begin. (7) She would leave if she could, but there's nowhere to go that the oracle wouldn't follow her. (8) She doesn't remember the name she was born with. (9) She hates the word "sibyl."
