Grieve

They don't even realize

that when they're talking

about their forefathers, they're really talking

about the people who did this and came over.

These weren't the early settlers.

Things were established long before, and it was not

Your coffee.

Thanks, Tella.

Hey, Sam.

You know, we said you could take a couple weeks off.

It's the holidays, buddy.

Yeah, I know.

I just, I gotta keep working

and take my mind off of things, so.

Look, Sam, we might be able to consider that

if you're actually getting your work done.

Sam, relax, take some time off.

We're all pulling for you, bud.

Why don't you go out to the cabin?

We're gonna be in Florida for a while

and that's what the cabin's there for, you know.

No use in stewing in that apartment.

Go take in some fresh air and try to clear your mind.

After you.

I always want to try a new beer

but ended up grabbing the same old shit.

Yeah, I do the same thing.

- Hey, how you doing? - What's up buddy?

I'm gonna grab our friend's beer here as well, please.

Oh, no, no, it's okay.

It's on me.

Don't worry about it.

I got it. - Are you sure?

- Yeah. - Thank you.

- Yeah. - $13.99, please.

Thank you.

Thank you. - Thanks, man.

- Have a nice day. - Have a good one.

Take care.

Hey, you wouldn't happen to be staying

at that cabin at the tip of the triangle, would you?

The triangle?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, it's, it's my mom's cabin.

Ralph?

Sam, how the hell are you?

How's your mother doing?

You know, perpetual vacation.

This is great.

What are you gonna get into tonight?

I'm gonna be up that way anyway.

I could use a drinking buddy.

Yeah, yeah.

I don't know.

I just got in for the night

so probably gonna turn in for the night, but rain check.

Well, it's hang though, man.

How long are you gonna be in town?

My wife's a fucking damn old nag in the winter,

sitting alone watching the same old action movies,

breaking my spirit, you know what I mean?

- I'll call you. - Cool.

- Thanks for the beer. - No problem.

She used to wake up in the middle of the night,

pop her knuckles,

staring at the ceiling in some strange trance.

I'd pretend to sleep and watch,

wonder what she was thinking.

Could she see the future?

Is she seeing me now?

Where are you?

Have you saved a place for me?

Time seems stagnant without you,

sickly and slow.

But death lies here in the shadows?

Oui.

So here it drops from D flat major

to C sharp minor.

And that pulse right there, that's G sharp.

It's like a, a mirror into another life, or the afterlife.

Dramatic.

"Of course, when you reduce ends and aims

to the simplest terms,

we are all very busy to little purpose.

The end of all work seems to be for many of us the same.

We seek the wherewithal to enjoy ourselves.

A little money for the most part,

a little happiness for the rest.

The locust out in the grass

"manages his affairs satisfactorily to himself."

That's it.

Speaker wasn't even plugged in.

Hey, you know Briar Hill?

Briar Hill?

No, what is that?

It's up in the woods.

Up at Leech Run.

Hell a vista if you're into the trek.

Yeah, it sounds familiar.

Of course it's always nice

to have something to make it more interesting.

I don't wanna be that guy, but...

What are these pills?

Crushed up psilocybin, my dude.

Hello?

Sarah?

Sarah.

I'm, I'm, I'm staying in the the cabin over there.

Is this your property?

Sorry, just having a look.

Ripped from existence.

Dreams,

ideas.

God, entity.

Does your energy still live in me?
