VERB NOUN - Reyweld - 10-14-2018
You hold your knees to your chest, rocking back and forth, back and forth.
The hut around you creaks and groans, a conspicuous set-up ten years in the making. The moss has crawled up the inside of the window frame (which had never had a window) and covered the ceiling. The shack, supported only by meager beams, was once small and pathetic. Now it is a suitable residence, a one room everything because only one has ever lived here.
Your tiny clothing from ages past sits neatly on a wooden block (dresser), near the doorway. The door has no hinges, just a long bark mesh leaning on the opening. That door is very new; they must be replaced regularly. The weaving of bark is very distracting, and distraction is good.
Crude furs are in heaps everywhere. Where the moss isn’t growing (and some where it is), murals made from ground shells and rocks watered down into paint distract from the loss of time. New murals are constantly painted over the old.
“Bored,” you whisper. After being silent for so long, you found your voice restricted. Now, you take the effort to speak each day you await your discovery. “I am bored.”
You are bored. You must not stay bored. You look around your room, desperate to occupy your time. Paints, bark weaving, cleaning, or bonsai? Or something new. Is there something new? You feel that you’ve been playing the same game for as long as you can remember.

You think about them, sometimes. The tall one. The short one. The cute one with a knack for running. The one everyone hates because they’re stupid. The others.
You can remember their faces quite easily, but their names have slipped away. You hide, but do not seek. The lost names will stay lost, until they are found.
Will they be found? You have to keep thinking that yes, they will be found. One day, their names will be discovered, bark doors thrown to the side as the names embrace their masters. There will be smiling and laughter and tears and finally this game will be over.

You recite one of your vocal compositions paired with an ancient tune. You don’t know the original words, so you made your own and made it your own.
“Happy happy little boy,
Your bright smile still brings me joy.
You are waiting from afar,
You are patient like a star.
Waiting waiting little boy,
Your bright smile will bring me joy.”
Without an audience, the quiet performance feels lacking.

You put both hands in your mouth and let out a small whistle. A shimmering circle appears in front of you, and out jumps Badger. Badger flicks its tongue in delight and coils their long body around your waist and neck. You give their head a gentle scratch. Badger squints its eyes closed and rubs their head on your cheek.
You give your quiet recital again, and you can tell that Badger enjoyed it.
