โ oh no no. .i never left. .not physically โ
he didnโt know the right way to explain everything, but he would find a way as he talked โ laying down on the wall
โ tens of thousands of years i was stuck here. .just. .

โ
โ โ sheโs confused by the man but she feels sympathyโ a want to understand, to connect with him. his words seem to spin a tale, like a story, like a novel. she nods as he speaks. engaged.
โ
โ โ โiโm here to talk now, dear. thereโs no need to wallow.โ she means notโ
โ
voice remained soft, speaking just loud enough for her to hear
โ to them i was just another ghost, but after a while they wanted me to join their little โcompanyโ. .and me being me, i played along โ the body you saw was never
//
โ i got left here. .i didnโt have anyone โ after a while i couldnโt fuckinโ take it anymore. . โ
voice trembled as he spoke, making a gun signal to the side of his head โ shaking hand resting back down in his lap
โ more than once โ almost too many times to count โ
remaining sat on the high wall โ watching from where she was. in order to make her understand how he ended up where he was, he had to explain what caused it. .had to be soft

โ โ sheโs never been to the beach, hers or anotherโs, though she knows itโs existence very well. patients constantly one step away from visiting it or leaving for good, a metaphysical and medical mystery sheโs not been able to crack herself. his words interest herโ
โ
โ no โ none at all โ
relaxing back once again when her hand moved โ from his knowledge he had zero history of any severe medical conditions. .he was a pretty healthy individual for the most part
โ
โ โ โyour heart, itโs, wellโฆ veryโฆ slow. to say the least . . . certainly a slight concern.โ
โ
โ โ clearing her throat, bringing her hand down. โany history of cardiac episodes?โ she obviously isnโt aware of his physical state, clueless to it.
โ
keeping his head still โ looking straight ahead so she could easily check his pulse <if he even had one anymore>
he had so many questions. how long she had been there, why he hadnโt seen her before โ but they could wait
โ
โ โ โweโll have to see what works for you, then,โ placing her pen light to the side, raising her hand again to check his pulse point, โwe have all sorts of medical marvels of drugs here.โ
โ
โ โ she cocks her head as she speaks, โstay still while i check you, please,โ
โ
โ no - none at all โ
a simple response โ the pet names were also something higgs wasnโt used to โ nobody cared about him enough to use them, but that wasnโt his concern anymore
โ
โ โ โintriguing, very interestingโฆ hmm. memory problems, maybeโ because something is certainly the matter, dear.โ
โ
โ โ clicking her tongue again, โpoor thing, i should prescribe you something. have you taken any drugs or medications before?โ
