18. 353

DAY 353, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER

S: This is the life.

H: It's perfect.

S: Sitting on a pier, feet in the water, cup of coffee.

H: Don't forget the sun rising next to us.

S: It's fantastic.

H: This is the life, like you said.

S: Hey, where were you last night?

H: What do you mean?

S: Around... I don't know, 4 AM or something I needed to pee.

H: Thanks for telling me.

S: It's not the point, but you're welcome. I saw a light coming from your room. The door was wide open so I peeked in. You were gone.

H: I can explain that.

S: You weren't downstairs either.

H: I know. I was outside.

S: Outside? At night? I know it's September, but it must have been cold.

H: It was. But I had tea.

S: What did you do?

H: L invited me to come stargazing.

S: L was there, too?

H: Yeah. We sat on a bench on the side of the house with some tea and chips.

S: And you just looked at the stars? For how long?

H: At least four hours if you came to my room at 4.

S: Everyone has their likes and dislikes, sure, but sitting outside in the cold for four hours looking up- is your neck okay?

H: It's fine. A little stiff, but fine.

S: Good. So... how was it?

H: It was great. There were, like, no clouds at all. And on top of that, we're far away from cities and whatnot. I saw a lot more stars than I would in the backyard at home.

S: Well, good for you. I don't get it but good for you.

H: Thanks

S: Did, uh... anything else happen between you too?

H: No? Should something have happened.

S: I guess nothing had to happen. Just... really? Nothing? Honestly?

H: Nope. Even if you were the boss of this country, the world even, I would tell you 'no'.

S: Alright, I believe you. If I were the boss of this country I wouldn't be here, though.

H: What would you been doing then?

S: I would be in my Mega Mansion.

H: Your Mega Mansion? What would you be doing there?

S: Deciding who of my subjects get to live and who don't.

H: Wow. Do I make the cut?

S: Yeah, you're fine. You're my trusted right hand person after all.

H: Aw, thanks.

S: You're welcome. I would be yours, too, I assume.

H: Sure.

S: What would you be doing as the boss of everyone you know?

H: That's a good question. I think I would make sure all corrupt people in the government would be sent away.
