Waning Crescent Flashcards
What’s wrong?
Nothing.
Are you sure?
Of course. Nothing.
Alright. How long have you been awake?
Always.
Right. Sorry, I didn’t mean to sleep
It was strange.
I haven’t slept in a long time. Haven’t wanted to.
I forgot how strange it was.
Did it bother you?
No. I don’t like it when you’re here but you’re not.
Like when I’m asleep?
Your body’s here but I can’t find you.
I’m sorry.
I don’t like it.
I didn’t mean to scare you.
I’m not scared, I just don’t like it.
Okay. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to… I didn’t think about it. I haven’t slept in so
long, but I’ve been getting tired lately. For the first time in centuries. I’m
suddenly so tired.
What does it feel like?
What?
Tired.
Like you’re heavy. Like all of you is falling slowly, and you have to keep yourself
up. Like if you just let go for a second, or stop trying, you’ll just… blink out.
Oh. I think I’m tired too.
Yeah?
Yeah.
You could sleep. I wouldn’t mind.
I don’t think I can.
You could try.
No I don’t, it’s okay.
Okay. Well, I’m awake now. What do you want to do? Do you want to play chess?
No.
Checkers?
No.
Really, not even checkers?
No! Stop it.
Are you okay?
Yes, I told you, I’m fine.
Okay. We can play something different. We don’t have to play those games.
It’s not the games.
Then what is it!
Nothing! I don’t know!
