Can't Go Away 2

I'm sitting on a stone. I notice I can keep on walking because the red string is so long and loose that it is even impossible to see the other end of it. I wonder what I am tied to. I still hear a voice telling me no.

I'm sitting on a stone. A painter comes and asks what I am doing here all alone. He tells me about dreams, about the future. He says he can paint my mind in a second. I say he can't... It's all black inside my skull. I turn around and take a few steps back. He says he will return, but I'm not paying attention to whatever else he's saying. I don't care about the painter.

I cry because now I realize I can go back. The red string will surely show me the way. I'm afraid. I don't really want to see what I am tied to.

I think about him.

I wonder if he is as sad as I am.

I miss him.

I need him.

I...

A fairy comes to me. She tells me the way back is easy. I only have to turn around and see my footprints, the wind has not erased them. Besides, there's the voice. She says the voice will let me know how near I am. I ask about the red string... The fairy disappears.

I'm sitting on a stone. Thinking.

I scream his name out until my throat hurts.
