Silence.

Void.

Emptiness.

Knock knock?

Who is it?

*A Thought quickly squeezes itself in* “You remember that video of a cat playing a piano? So…”

Umm... Sorry, I don’t have time right know. I am busy.

“Doing what?”

Nothing, but I had a lot of visits lately. I need a break.

*Meanwhile few another thoughts squeeze in, all explaining themselves and inviting others*

I don’t have time right know. You are all great, but come later.

Thank you for you interest. Please leave me to myself now.

Come back later. Didn’t you read the sign? I don’t take visits right know.

Thank you, come back later.

Silence.

Emptiness.

Void.

Void.

♬ That sweet heirloom ♬♪

♪♬ Them abbey stones ♪

Oh, Melody is that you? I heard you couple days ago. You are still around?.

♪ Cut off your hair ♬

Unplug your phone ♬♪

I don’t have time right now. I need Silence.

Silence.

Silence.

Silence.

*A dark ominous figure enters, looks around*

You’re not invited.

“But I am you”

You’re part of me, but you’re not me.

“Well that’s strange. What is ‘you’?”

…

“Isn’t it interesting? Where do I come from? Maybe I’m uninvited. A spark in the darkness. A sudden voice in silence. I arrive whenever I want.”

…

“Nice office you have set for yourself here. Ordered, sort of. But you’ll never be in control. I remember when it was different. Documents flying around. The shredding machine destroying information randomly. People freely going in and out and you… the pathetic little you… hiding in the corner, biting nails.”

Stop. You’re part of me, but you’re not me.

“I feel desperation in your voice. I sense worry. I sense fear.”

Maybe.

“Oh no ‘maybe’. You know the truth. The inconvenient truth.”

…

“You’re so bad at this. You’re failing right now. Again. Like many times before.”

…

“Just stop trying! It takes so much energy you see? Just go with the flow. Relax. It will be much easier. For all of us.”

…

“Who would you be without us? Nothing. You need Us to be You.”

I don’t need you right Now.

Now.

Now.

Now.

Emptiness.

This is great.

“Oh is it? You just messed up.”

…

“Oh yes I am still here.”

Well thank you.

“Your kindness is fake.”

Thanks.

“Pathetic”

Thanks.

…

Coolness.

Warmth.

Vibrations.

Sounds.

Knock knock.

…

Knock knock.

…

Knock knock.

…

…

…

Comfort.

Stillness.

Smile.

Let’s slowly open the eyes.

And live this day well.
