9. Grounding

R:”We are arrived.”

P:”AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

     Intense.

     Breaking.

     A scream.

     And I stop to shout.

     Shotgun.

     Shoots from inside the Brain.

Instructions.

Look around cautiously.

Metallic buildings, people walking, uniforms, more vehicles, fire weapons.

The seat, the bottle, my leg, a leaf.

Chatter, laughers & the animals singing…

Perfume & Stew…

Loss.

5 things, 4 things, 3 things, 2 things, 1 thing

R:”…”

P:”…”

     He looks at me, puzzled.
Not what he was looking for.
These eyes mean that.

R:”We are arrived.”

P:”…”

R:”Do you need to hold someone?”

P:”No.”

R:”Follow me then.”

That’s an encampment.

Yes.

Look at these skirts.

They must only wear them indoors.

R:”Will you start?”

P:”Start?”

R:”I need to know what’ll you say & do once we’re in the meeting room.”

P:”You…

You’re from here.

You work for these people?”

R:”What do you know of them?”

P:”I don’t know them.”

R:”Why do you want to know about my relationship with them?”

P:”You’ve got no mate.”

R:”…”

P:”You walk alone.

These people.

They walk in group.

If they don’t, their lost.”

R:”And you?”

P:”I don’t feel comfortable here.”

R:”What will you say once you’re in?”

P:”If I see something I like, I’ll say just that.”

R:”If not?”

P:”Nothing.”
