2 A Lazy Morning

The backyard is one of my favorite places. Why, you may ask? Well since I can't really be bothered to show you, let me just bother with telling you.

It isn't as big as you'd want it to be, in fact it's roughly the size of a lengthy bathroom, narrow but spacious enough. The only reason it isn't spacious is because of the pleasant and abundant greenery that's around me right now. Varying from potted plants, to strong, firm oaks, and little yet abundant shrubbery at the side near the walls of the house, and the evergreen carpet that lays beneath me, the morning dew making it ever so glisten with the faint effervescence from the sunlight.

You must be confused though, have questions that you want answered like, "Why are you hanging out in the backyard, drying yourself off?", "Who are you?", or, "Are you drying yourself off naked in the backyard?".

Ok, nobody probably asked that third question, but yes... I am naked. My clothes are right beside me drying off, I was brought down here, was given a quick rinse, and was told to dry off by the backyard. Of course since this was my favorite spot, I had no qualms.

As for who I am. Well I'm just a regular guy who wants to live his life as idle as he can. The name's Phil.

Yes, it has been a quiet morning, the next door neighbors' dog hasn't been acting up as much probably due to its old age, the ice cream truck which usually attracts the rowdy bunch of children isn't en route till later afternoon, and the usual skirmish in the house should start right about... now.

"It's just.. What the actual fuck right?! They just gave me their money and expected me to keep it for them, like, they didn't even asked how I felt about everything. They just left it with me and gave me all of this unwanted tension and..."

"Haha, good luck in there Mi, take care of Perce for us."

The house is a rowdy bunch on it's own, well it was when it was filled with people. Ever since then the house has been quiet, for Rob at least.

What? You don't know who Rob is?

Well if you must know, Rob is the owner of the house. He's the one who always takes the twins to work everyday. He's also the only one left from the last batch of people that lived here. I always wondered what kind of people he used to live with, especially since he doesn't talk much nowadays. I wonder though, why hasn't anyone moved in after the last batch of people moved out? I mean, unless th-

"Huh?What?! My head isn't that big!"

Oh, looks like something happened in there huh Mi? Well, I would enjoy listening in on what had happen with there talk, after all Mi had lost her composure for once. As for my rambling maybe another time, I do want to return to my silent, serene space for a bit. I'll just keep my thoughts to my own for now, after all it's only been two months since we "moved" here, no need for immediate speculations. Right now what matter is the present, it's not always that I get some peace and quiet, might as well abuse it for the time being.

Some of you might think that it's boring or that nothing is happening, but I for one enjoy this monotonous life. Right now I'm living in a world where nothing is of my concern.

My world.

"Yeah, of course honey. After all, we are besties!"

Was that Mi? Surprising since she doesn't seem the type to say something like that. Well, at least that might have calmed down Perce by now.

"Yeah we are! The best of the best!"

It is surprising though, how does she do it? It must be straining trying to catch people when they're down in the dumps. It really is amazing... how does she keep pretending like that?

"I guess I'll never know. Or at least, not now."

Yes, all of us has had their fair share of pasts, and it isn't surprising that some of us aren't who we seem to be. But i think that's just part of life, and since it's a part of life, it isn't my concern.

But now I do wonder... How'd I get here in the first place?

I would have remembered being brought here a few months ago but no, that wasn't the case. It felt like, I just found myself on that bed lying down not being able to move.

Well, that's fine, again I don't need to concern myself about these things. Let's just, enjoy the breeze and the evergreens and we'll be fine.

But it is peculiar, that no one remembers how we got here, maybe I'll ask them later. For now, I have to figure out how to get my casing back on me. it's getting chilly all of a sudden.
