in the fourth dimension, there is a period of time where carl and riley were meant to act on their emotions and if either one of them made a mistake, it would not be. people don't exist in the fourth dimension, really, they're more like pictures on giant wallpaper spread throughout a long long hall

and if you look straight down the hall, without paying attention to what's on the walls, you can see complete and total darkness

and me, being the crazy guy i am, stopped and watched carl and riley during their experience together. i loved to watch them, as they reminded me so much of me and her when we were together, but carl tried, he really fucking tried and still, it didn't happen.
every once in a while ill go back and stop right there in that hall and just watch, over and over the short time that they were together in their lives and i won't say anything at all because they looked so goddamn happy

and whenever im in that hall i refuse to walk any further than their smiling faces because i'm scared to know what'll happen next.


earlier this morning however, i got a message from riley saying this,
" will you stop looking at us? it's none of your goddamn business!"
