Hilda 5/6

So, Hilda peeks inside the book that she has kept through the last 364 days. This book has been her talisman. And the book? It starts to sing. 

Quickly, Hilda slams it shut. She needs time to hear what the tallies and the sums and the data are saying to her. She sits with her wishes pinned to her favourite tree and hums a nervous tune.
