Two can be as bad as one
🧙 WHO: Hendrik and Jasper
⚔️️ WHAT: Conversation
🕒 WHEN: 1st week in August
🗺️ WHERE: Home
⚠️ WARNINGS: Editing as needed
[The light on the porch shines though the sky is dark with night. Jasper lounges in one of the chairs, feet dumped on the coffee table. One hand holds a book, a glass of red wine in the other. A drained bottle stands beside his chair, uncorked and shaded green. The door is open to the garden, letting in the smell of grass and summer heat.
He flips his hair away from his eyes and looks over his shoulder when he hears the front door. The releasing of a latch and the creaking of wood catching his attention, making him seethe. He bristles in his chair, cradling his wine and his loneliness. But he chooses this stange relationship over his anger and sets his glass on the table. For the most part, he keeps silent and continues reading, lost in that strange world between the waking world and his unconscious.
The words blur on the page as he slurs his own. Is Hendrik a foot past the door? He doesn't really know but he'll yell anyway.]
Ah! The prodigal son returns at last!

Then I will hope that I will be able to someday witness your answer.

[Does that imply there are others? He steps back and turns his shoulder, excusing his intrusion as he begins heading away. One step follows another and soon he stands before the base of the stairs.
He stops, turns and looks at his old friend. Words form on his lips but cut short. His eyes shine with water; he still doesn't know what so say.]
no subject
For all that he has said about helping others, he can't think of a way to help the one person he wants to help.]
