Grieve (2023)

[bunniefuu]

They don't even realize

that when they're talking

about their forefathers,

they're really talking

about the people who

did this and came over.

These weren't the early settlers.

Things were established

long before, and it was not-

Your coffee.

Thanks, Tella.

Hey, Sam.

You know, we said you could

take a couple weeks off.

It's the holidays, buddy.

Yeah, I know.

I just, I gotta keep working

and take my mind off of things, so.

Look, Sam, we might

be able to consider that

if you're actually getting your work done.

Sam, relax, take some time off.

We're all pulling for you, bud.

Why don't you

go out to the cabin?

We're gonna be in Florida for a while

and that's what the cabin's

there for, you know.

No use in stewing in that apartment.

Go take in some fresh air

and try to clear your mind.

A nervous stuttering

A slight suffering

I'm caving in

I might have died

I might have died

Materialized

After you.

I always want to try a new beer

but ended up grabbing the same old sh*t.

Yeah, I do the same thing.

- Hey, how you doing?

- What's up buddy?

I'm gonna grab our friend's

beer here as well, please.

Oh, no, no, it's okay.

It's on me.

Don't worry about it.

- I got it.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah.

- Thank you.

- Yeah.

- $13.99, please.

Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Thanks, man.

- Have a nice day.

- Have a good one.

Take care.

Hey, you wouldn't happen to be staying

at that cabin at the tip

of the triangle, would you?

The triangle?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, it's, it's my mom's cabin.

Ralph?

Sam, how the hell are you?

How's your mother doing?

You know, perpetual vacation.

This is great.

What are you gonna get into tonight?

I'm gonna be up that way anyway.

I could use a drinking buddy.

Yeah, yeah.

I don't know.

I just got in for the night

so probably gonna turn in for

the night, but rain check.

Well, it's hang though, man.

How long are you gonna be in town?

My wife's a f*cking damn

old nag in the winter,

sitting alone watching the

same old action movies,

breaking my spirit, you know what I mean?

- I'll call you.

- Cool.

- Thanks for the beer.

- No problem.

She used to wake up

in the middle of the night,

pop her knuckles,

staring at the ceiling

in some strange trance.

I'd pretend to sleep and watch,

wonder what she was thinking.

Could she see the future?

Is she seeing me now?

Where are you?

Have you saved a place for me?

Time seems stagnant without you,

sickly and slow.

Where

Did you go

When you were born

Tonight I lost

Tonight

Tonight I lost you

Tonight

Tonight I lost you

When did I lose

Turned to dust

In your arms

It's nice in your house

In your arms

I love you

My love

I'm lost in your arms

But death lies here in the shadows?

Oui.

So here it drops from D flat major

to C sharp minor.

And that pulse right

there, that's G sharp.

It's like a, a mirror into

another life, or the afterlife.

Dramatic.

"Of course, when you reduce ends and aims

to the simplest terms,

we are all very busy to little purpose.

The end of all work seems to

be for many of us the same.

We seek the wherewithal

to enjoy ourselves.

A little money for the most part,

a little happiness for the rest.

The locust out in the grass

manages his affairs

satisfactorily to himself."

That's it.

Speaker wasn't even plugged in.

Hey, you know Briar Hill?

Briar Hill?

No, what is that?

It's up in the woods.

Up at Leech Run.

Hell a vista if you're into the trek.

Yeah, it sounds familiar.

Of course it's always nice

to have something to

make it more interesting.

I don't wanna be that guy, but...

What are these pills?

Crushed up psilocybin, my dude.

Hello?

Sarah?

Sarah.

I'm, I'm, I'm staying in

the the cabin over there.

Is this your property?

Sorry, just having a look.

Ripped from existence.

Dreams,

ideas.

God, entity.

Does your energy still live in me?

Do you know I'm thinking of you?

Do you know?

And I'll take some of those,

I think, the, the lights

Yeah.

$22.99, please.

Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

Have a nice day.

- You too.

- Take care.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

What the f*ck?

Who's there?

Hello?

Oh, hey man.

You won't believe what...

I just, I don't, I don't know.

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

It's boring.

Yeah.

Listen, do you wanna come

over for dinner tomorrow?

No, no, man.

No, just whatever, beer.

Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah, yeah.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay, bye.

Okay.

I'm here.

I miss you.

I miss you too.

I miss you.

I miss you.

I miss you.

I miss you.

I miss you.

I miss you.

I miss you.

That funny feeling

of hope and surrender.

That funny feeling of hope.

You gotta be careful, dude.

Where do you even get

off eating that many?

That's some wild sh*t.

Yeah, obviously.

I didn't know they sneak

up on you like that.

Hear about kids jumping

into trains and sh*t.

Yeah, that's bullshit.

So what's up with your hand though?

Mmmm.

I'm just keeping it warm, I guess.

What's going on, dude?

You good?

I'm too...

It's fine.

I think it's an older model, not so sharp.

Dulled spinners, blades.

Boy, you f*cked up.

It's just a nick.

How's your tripping otherwise?

Good enough to keep you

coming back, I guess.

Am I right?

Got any cool visuals, anything spooky?

The woods are pretty weird, dude.

You wouldn't believe.

Try me.

Man, I haven't even had

time to process it yet myself.

It's uh, it's okay.

Got some wild stories too, bro.

Reality's pretty thin around here.

Just, just want you to stay safe, Sammy.

Ralphie, I'll be okay.

Come on.

Don't you want me to sleep on

the couch with some warm milk?

Oh, get the f*ck out of here.

In case you have a nightmare.

f*ck off.

Are you sure you're okay to drive?

You really do want me to sleep

on the couch with some

warm milk ready for you.

All right, get the f*ck outta here.

Listen, Maybe you oughta

think about packing it up.

I don't think things

are gonna get any better

for you out here.

You should leave.

Okay.

Cool.

Hey, you need that?

I said nothing.

No.

No, please.

He won't for you.

He's...

Wake up, Sammy.

We're gonna miss it.

- Sarah.

- Let's go, sleepyhead.

Yeah, I'm ready.

It's so cold in here.

I don't know how you slept last night.

You did drink quite a bit of wine.

Yeah.

It's so nice already.

I can't believe it's been five years.

This is where we were even.

And we started drinking

mimosas at six a.m.

In all my life, Sammy, I

had never been so happy.

Me too.

I love you so much, Sarah.

I know, Sammy.

That's why it's gonna get you.

What's gonna get me?

The thing that feeds

off the cold in your bones

and the hurt In your heart.

You brought it.

Now you have to get rid of it.

Now watch the sunrise before I disappear.

What is this evil?

Has it always lurked in me?

Does it feed on me now?

Does it hear me?

Are you here?

Who am I?

Who am I?

Nothing can scare

you like losing the person

you love the most

and being left alone to trip

like some free-floating particle

in a storm full of nothingness.
