Chapter 13 - The Fool Loses Himself In Middle Of Life 

Part I 

[ ... ]

- Syd, I need to get out of here. - I said, but he seemed to ignore me.

- I'm just going to get you out when you help me. - He said.

- What do you want?

- Back to life. - He said. - I want to do what I did before, remember? I was Syd, it was I who introduced at shows, not you.

- Want me to re-introduce myself?

- No. - He looked at me. - I just want you to let that part of me alive every day with you, just like Emily . I do not want to be forgotten.

- Yes, I do it. - I felt so excited. - But I need you to help me.

- Yes, I will help thee.

I left out the house. I stared at the empty desert, the stars in the sky, the stars like Alice. Well, I did not know if what I was seeing now was a hallucination or reality. And even if it was just a hallucination, how could it look so real? I stayed in a vote of silence through the night, perhaps a probable morning. The silence was my only way out.

- Pity! Going to die today?

- Can not wait to see him over seven feet underground.

- The freak is back to its natural dwelling. 

These phrases did not scare me anymore. I hear it was common, even seeing no one to do it. It was difficult to understand why and my mind is doing this to myself. It was like a soldier put a knife in their hearts while imagining that is killing the enemy.

- I can still hear your heart. - It was the voice of Alice. - I know he's still beating, though still very slowly.

She was taking care of me. Yes! She was next to me, I knew she would not leave me. Although I have scared me a bit with the sweet so that the words sounded by my ears, I was happy for that.

I was so miss her. I wanted to hear her voice more, I looked around but the darkness took over the place. Surely the only person who could give me the strength to stay alive was her.

- Keith, do not forget that I'm here. - Her voice sounded again by the darkness of the desert. - I'll take care of you and no matter what happens, I love you.

That sweet voice made ​​me fall asleep. My weary eyelids were falling slowly let my eyes in complete darkness. The only thing I could hear was my heart beating. I no longer felt my body was now as if I was part of the space and nothing more.

A month later.

I began to slowly open my eyes. My first vision was of a white ceiling and a glare that did not cooperate much with me. My body was rested on something soft and comfortable. I tried to move my arms, but I was stopped by several tubes that were around me. I was in a hospital?

I looked forward to. There was someone beside me, I looked closely at the man standing beside me. Rick smiled, but tears fall from her eyes.

- S..S... Syd? - He stammered.

- What am I doing here? - I asked trying to get those tubes and needles that was in me. - What happened?

- Calm. - He took my hand preventing me from taking the needle from my arm. - Have the doctor was called.
