I've started remembering more

of the time before.

It's called pool.

Or billions.

Pool, I think.

I was good at it.

I missed.

It's called a scratch.

It's my turn now.

But there were

other things, too.

A small blue flower

hanging from a tree

as I rocked back and

forth beneath it.

A dog called Marvin, I think.

And I was eating sugar

beneath a table

while the grownups drank and

played some kind of game

at the table above me.

And swimming in the

ocean at night.

I was angry once and threw

a doll into tall grass,

and no matter how long I

looked, I never found it.

I was very, very afraid of the spooky

tree outside my grandparents' window.

They had a black

cat named Secret

that would run into the basement

whenever there was a loud noise.

Thunder, especially.

When I was little,

a boy asked me if we

could be married,

and I said yes.

Sometimes I think

we're still engaged.

Can you turn off the music?

Why?

Yeah, okay, sure.

Be still.

I'm alone...

I am not alone.

Somebody is here.

Something.

That sound.

The sound of nothing.

It might as well be

in my own mind...

There it is.

Did you hear it?

That sound.

The sound of nothing.

It might as well

be in my own mind.

There it is.

Did you hear it?

That's it.

That's the sound.

I don't know what happened.

I don't know what happened.

It was just...

there.

And then it was all gone.

Happened here, too, didn't it?

But what? What was it?

What is that sound?

Did she come here?

Has she been here?

If she's been here,

blink one eye.

If not, blink two.

If she loves me,

blink one eye.

If not...

Today I woke up early.

Today...

I awoke at dawn.

A hush seemed to be

upon our forest.

I walked...

[mal woke up early today.

It was quiet.

All was peaceful, but not I.

[womaYou're so old, aren't you?

I never knew how old...

and lonely.

Lonelier than me even.

Yes, but you have me now.

You do.

I'm not leaving.

I promise, I'm not.

Not ever.

You got it?

Okay, good.

Why wouldn't she come meet you?

You don't know, do you?

You never got to find out.

It's lonely being lonely.

And it's hard not

to know things.

But it's easier when you're with

someone who cares about you.

But when you're lonely and you're

lost, all at the same time...

Who was she?

Oh.

Pretty?

I bet.

And you have to know that

when certain things go,

other things are going to come.

But I'm not going to go.

I'm not going anywhere.

And that's a promise,

cross my heart.

That's one good thing.

We don't have to be lonely

anymore, you and I.

Even if things are confusing,

at least we're not alone.

Ah!

And white dust

came in once again,

under the door.

Found its way through the wall.
