[MONDAY | AFTER SCHOOL | SEPTEMBER 8TH]

[iseesdeadpeople]

[He's fingering through a few books in the library.]

The Other Self. Bilocation...

John Donne. Abraham Lincoln. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Emilie Sagée...

[And he closes them.]

None of these are comparable to what I witnessed that night. Hm...

Comments

[invisiblechain]

[pops out of nowhere and bothers you |D]

Pardon me.

Didn't find what you were looking for?

[iseesdeadpeople]

Hmm, I didn't. Although, I may have found what I wasn't looking for.

[invisiblechain]

It's easier to find things you didn't expect than to fight what you're searching.

May I ask what you were looking for?

[iseesdeadpeople]

Of course. After all, there are a million and one things I'm not searching for.

Hmm... You know, I'm not sure.

[invisiblechain]

...?

[iseesdeadpeople]

Sometimes I like to just pick a book and see if the answer will find me.

[invisiblechain]

Oh. I see.

[iseesdeadpeople]

Although... It would be nice if the question found me once in a while, too.

[invisiblechain]

I guess that's up to Lady Luck.

[iseesdeadpeople]

Hm? You believe in luck?

[invisiblechain]

[takes a bit to think about it]

I assume considerably less than an average person.

[iseesdeadpeople]

Well, that's good. After all, it's unwise to leave life up to chance.

[invisiblechain]

[nods]

[iseesdeadpeople]

Then, do you believe in destiny?

[invisiblechain]

[thinks again]

I'm not sure.

Do you?

[iseesdeadpeople]

Of course, I would like to believe that some things are meant to happen.

However...

Rather than luck or destiny, I prefer to carve my own future.
