But these people were different.
It was, she discovered slowly, a very strange world that she had entered.
Patient and good-tempered and hard-working and more than usually bright.
She never quite got over that first glimpse of the outside of the house.
Even on the day she was to leave he was sullen. Not talking. Frowning.
Yet what else could she have done?
It was the most beautiful street she had ever seen.
Her mouth curved as though she were about to smile.
The dog’s ears straightened into sharp points.
What difference does it make to him?
And she thought, everything he does, he does quietly.

He said something, but she couldn’t hear what it was.
Kiss me to show you’re sorry.
Those who go looking are on a fool’s errand.
Does one simply see what one is fit to see?
Run and get a policeman, I’ll stay here and make sure he doesn’t get away.
He cannot leave and think of something else.
There was no one to be seen.
I’ll show you the way, if you like.
I know of a cave nearby where we could rest for the night.
I don’t care about all that now.
It just didn’t add up.
He knew how the world worked.
He would have to linger on.
He longed to be absorbed into the earth.
The next thing that happened was that he forgot the last thing that happened.
How could he wake from a waking dream?
How long had he been hiding?
There was no one there.
Gone Fishin’
His sense of time was as warped as everything else.
He couldn’t have said how long he stayed there.
He didn’t want to be taken away.
He must find a way out before it was too late.
Gone Fishin’ – again :-)
He needed no more than three hours’ sleep to function perfectly for the rest of the day.
Age and money had alienated him from that relationship.
He had always had a strong connection with nature.

I hate to spoil your fun.
I swear I’m telling the truth.
But I’ve told you everything I know.
I’m feeling really strange.
There was no shelter to be found.
What about hard work and loyalty, not to mention coolness and courage and charm?
No more big ideas, please.
More people having more and more thoughts.
Because thoughts were real.
Perhaps that was why the universe was expanding.
