Arthur wants to walk to Harry’s house through the long hill. And he had been walking around like a lost sheep from the middle of the day to the night. Wearily, he sat in the middle of the endless road, laid his back, and a cool breeze tangling his hair up, refreshing his strength. He forced himself up for his dried throat and dessert tongue had weakened him. And he had fallen many times in the hill, had rolled back to the ground, and the sky had gone blurred for minutes. But he would rise when the air refreshed his strength to climb the hill again. He remembers he climbed the hill with the three friends as they jumped out of their canoes at the riverside, and he remembers they walked down the long hill after climbing it. It was easy then, but hard now. Even harder when he got lost, and had lost his strength. And still can’t find his way back to Harry’s house. For he had said, “I will eat and

Arthur moved down. “My phone. Where is it?” “Where did you put it?” Chris coated his mouth as he yawned once more. “Go check the sitting room.” Warily, Arthur walked there and glanced about. Picked up pillows on the chairs, walked to the table as something resembled his phone, but was remote. He dropped it, hurried to the fridge, but found nothing. He stood still in the middle of the sitting room. “Did I even come here yesterday?” He darted back to Chris’s room. “C’mon, give me your car key.” After a minute, he opened the car, glanced around, but found nothing. He held the door shut, tapping h

Her voice breaks through and darted back to her face with the scorching breeze. As she hurried to off the cooker in the kitchen. “Dad... Dad.” John’s voice returned as if he was being chased.

It moved smoothly upon the surface of the water and undisturbed beneath it.
