I watched her run into the water amidst giggles and endless splashing, all the while fully clothed. Too cautious I turned to find a seat away from the river, and sat a little distance away was a log of wood. As I advanced towards it it seemed as though I’d been thrust into an empty room, emptied of everything and all things, sound included. I could still see the trees scattered around the river, the sky still hung above me, and the river still stood within view, yet everything was still. The leaves of the trees were still, and the sounds which had become a common place, were inexistent. But on turning to the river I found Nene in a state of ecstasy, quiet and relaxed, so I shook off the crawls I felt on my skin, and getting to the log, I sat.
