Like a hiccup to summer vacation.” She paused. Had us back for one day before sending us back home for the weekend. We started on a Friday for some stupid reason. He stepped closer, keeping his wet shoes as silent as possible, curious to hear what his subconscious thought of her now. 16 year old, gruff, can’t communicate to save Basil’s life Aubrey (Sunny knew that joke was unfair to her but Basil never really held it against her and he didn’t say it out loud. God, I feel so dramatic doing this before sunrise. The sound died as he heard someone speaking far away. He gave a bitter chuckle at his own internal monologue. Still traumatized mind you, just more in touch with reality. Maybe this was a metaphor for how he needs to improve? The better he becomes the dryer and more comfortable he gets? That sounded exactly like the artsy bullcrap he’d come up with now that he wasn’t traumatized out of his mind. The cold wet water that suffused his very being it seemed, did not help. Stepping out of the lake he stepped into the forest ahead of him, setting out to explore what his psyche was now that it had changed.Īfter a few minutes traversing the trees, Sunny shuddered and wrapped his arms around his torso. The night sky and slight chill air made Sunny think of melancholy acceptance, rather than denial or pain, like Headspace usually was. ![]() He’s not lying to himself anymore, so it’s probably healthier here or something. “I’m asleep.” He hasn’t visited Headspace since leaving Faraway, but it was only a matter of time before he returned. He scrambled to get up and found himself standing on the edge of a small pond, fully clothed and soaking wet. Focusing on his surroundings, he could not feel the sides of the tub anymore, and his back was no longer on a smooth surface. There’s no way he can see the starry night sky right now. He must’ve dozed off, the water was cold now. His head snapped up from almost dipping into the water. For a moment, a brief moment, he had that feeling like one sleeping on a perilous ledge about to fall. Good luck Sunny, I’ll keep an eye on the one here.” As long as one version remains, to heal and bond from a painful truth.

He pushed aside the feeling of disappointment and turned off the computer.įinding his way to the bathroom was easier in the new one story house, Sunny filled the bathtub and started getting ready for his bath. It was kind of funny, for the first time in his life (well in Headspace anyway) a painful truth will result in the people who heard it happier than before.
