right where it belongs - nine inch nails

Last night i showed the ghost girl the necklace while we were both sitting down, and she got all excited and after a minute i finally understood and i put it on the floor in front of her, and i asked her a question i already knew the answer to which was 'it's yours, isn't it?' and she nodded and i saw relief and happiness flood through her sad face and i said 'that means your name... is Ayla,' and she nodded again and it was as though a great weight had been lifted from her and i thought that maybe she had been here so long she had forgotten her own name and maybe all along she had been waiting for someone to come back to tell her but that someone had never come.

If only for a brief instant it was as though the planes of reality we existed on merged because she picked up the necklace and put it on and she hugged me and it was freezing cold but full of warmth and i could have sworn i heard her say 'thankyou,' in a voice that somehow reminded me of Relm and then she smiled at me in such a way that i thought that maybe things would work out and then all of a sudden it was early morning and i was awake. It all felt so distant and faraway and i couldn't tell if it had really happened but i think maybe that's for the best anyway.

I hope you stay well Ayla, wherever you go and whatever you do!

The cottage felt empty this morning so i made my decision to leave and i packed up all my stuff and went to the car and as i was putting all my stuff in the whole cottage just collapsed on itself so i guess maybe my timing was good. I took one more walk to the field and i found Terry and Andy looking at some plans and i asked them what was up and Terry said 'We're going to make this singular pool idea of yours into a real business venture because i think it's a fantastic idea! You got us well and truly started so now all we need to do is fill in these holes some with tiles or something and make some more and i think we'll be set! Oh the money my friend! The money in it all!' and i said 'didn't you come here to get away from people?' and he said, 'don't make me slap you boy. Not while i'm on this massive happiness high,' and i said ok and good luck and i went back to my car.

I'm staying in a nice little motel at the moment and i had a schnitzel for dinner with chips and a salad and then some ice cream afterwards. I realised while i was eating that i had completely forgotten about Tony and Turbo, so i have to make sure that when i get to the next city (The big smoke!) i ask around and find out where they are. I hope they are ok, in any case.

Blake out.
