"Led through the mist with the milk-light of moon, all that was lost is revealed" - the first sentence in the opening soundtrack of the cartoon series "Over the garden wall". For some, just a mere cartoon to ecstacize young minds, but for Cosi it's a world of cognizance clad with 2D figures. I'm Cosi Lourey, a 15-year old shut-in living just few blocks away from the coast of California bay. My family is just in middle tier, living in this unfair society of ours. As the world gets more unfair, I was born deaf. Ever since, I lived reading white, sans serif subtitles, it sure was hollow, felt like nothingness. I was in the verge of collapsing, for living without rhythm and dancing notes is living without a soul. Well, my parents offered me these fancy hearing aids but refused to use it cause If I live life I dont want to live artificially. But then something intrigued my dead eardrums, just a vague idea of hearing. When I look back, I saw a frog plucking piano keys and usual sans serif subs but i didnt read them, i heard them. For the first time in the span of time I've been living these beatless eardrums somehow felt a vibration --- of ephemeral pleasure. Wirt and Greg embodied my living, trying to get out of the woods, trying to get home. All that was lost was revealed, but not returned. Then, the reality slapped me out of this fantasy. Wirt and greg wont be out of the woods, it is their home, they were trying to escape, staying blindfolded to the truth. In the end I knew the notes never existed to begin with. Where shall it end? If dreams don't come true, why not pretend?
