I want to smell dark matter
He was home at last. Months in various facilities, but it seemed like nothing now. He was home. Oh God, he was home, how could he survive on his own...
No, he told himself, stop it. Remember what you learned. Count your blessings. You have so much that others don't have. And you're not alone. Your sister is here, helping you out.
A few months ago he'd have been embarrassed at being looked after by his younger sister, but now he was just thankful. He couldn't be alone, not in this house. The last time he'd been alone here he'd bit his neighbour's nose.
"You filled the fridge," he said, inspecting it.
"Of course. You hungry?"
"I can get something myself," he said.
"I wasn't offering!" she said.
He looked through the fridge for something to eat but couldn't seem to find anything he wanted. No, but there must be something. This was madness, all that food, there had to be something he could eat...he hoped his sister didn't notice how long it was taking.
"Hey bro...do you believe in, urr, aliens?" she asked, out of nowhere.
"I bit someone's nose but I'm not that crazy," he said, still looking through the fridge. That wasn't the kind of ham he liked!
"I saw something, in the sky, a few weeks ago...okay, I was drunk, but I still know what I saw...I think. It was a party..."
"I haven't been to a party for years," he said, looking at some eggs. He'd always found eggs too...eggy.
"Anyway, it was probably nothing...what are you doing in there?"
He'd been caught. Caught in his craziness. He panicked the pulled out the first thing he got his hand on. It was an onion.
"You're going to eat an onion?" she asked. He put it back in the fridge.
"You know what?" he said. "I feel like chips. I haven't had good chippie chips for months. I'm going to go to the chippie, I think. Yeah, that's what I'm going to do."
"Right, well, you can walk me home then, it's on the way."
"You're going?"
"I can't stay here forever, you know that. I'll come by every day."
"It's okay, you don't have to, I'll be fine, I'll be fine!" he lied.
"Don't want you biting off anymore noses."
"It was only a little piece of nose, not the whole thing!"
No, he told himself, stop it. Remember what you learned. Count your blessings. You have so much that others don't have. And you're not alone. Your sister is here, helping you out.
