Questions

 

“Well…..?”

 

“Well what?” answered Pigmet.

 

How did you get here?  Where have you been? And what is with the little black robe?”

 

“Those are different stories, and more than one of them. I will tell them to ya later.  Right now I need to tell ya somethin’ else." His little voice was firm. 

 

"I was sent here by a Great One.  I never had this happen to me before. I didn't even know there was such things as Great Ones!  I wonder how many there are? Well, anyways.  I was sent to help you guys while ya need to stay here on this planet.”  Pigmet looked around himself at the gray landscape.  “Boy! A place like this sure would drive ya crazy, if ya were all alone. Geez! Where does the sky start here?  Where is the sun?  This place is yucky!

How do you tell what time it is?"

 

"Now who's asking all the questions?" Geo replied.

 

Shiara came close to them.  "Sorry guys, but I need to ask some questions too.  Geo, are you okay?  Do you know where you are and who I am?

 

Lying on the Couch, Geo stretched and wiggled like a cat.  Pigmet hopped off the couch and onto the ground. 

 

“You say that like something has been wrong with me, Shiara."  He sat up on the couch and brushed some of the hair out of his eyes. 

 

“Well…” she said, looking over at Pigmet for help (They did not want to say anything that he was meant to forget in his sleep)....She continued on.  "You got very confused in all this grayness.  You got very tired, and you lay down on Mister Couch to rest.  You slept for kind of a long while, and I wasn't sure if you might be sick--"

 

"How long is 'a long time?'"

 

"We don't know, Geo.  We have no measurment of time here."

 

He looked around himself "Oh, yeah, I guess you're right."

 

"So.  I didn't know if you needed help, medicine, or something to help you get better. And Pigmet seems to be the answer to our needs.  He helped you to wake up.   Do you feel okay?”

 

Geo got up off the couch.  He was a pinch taller than he was before—and a pinch thinner, too! 

 

 “I feel…young!  Young is what I feel!”
