She Spacehomer (3)

It´s a lot of fun, running away from home.
Even if you didn´t really choose but followed an uncertain certainty from somewhere unknown before.
In a next moment you find your house in a complete different landscape, with a plank sticking upright into the soil,
and the plank has to be kicked, otherwise something even stranger would happen.

There are a lot of people around.
Gleimbart is only one of them, the one to show up first on their path, and he has the idea of taking care for something he made up only in his head,
but which he sometimes gives a physical appearance, may it be staged or not, may it be an animation in the distance or a
suggestion or hallucination.

The Frigos are somehwere, and nobody fully knows who they are and what they do.
But they are going for them; the Frigos going for Katy, Mel and Eloise or the other way round?

At the point of meeting or none-meeting --- is it of any interest? --- does it even make sense to search for something ---
mindfuck? --- hold something with the mind --- or which are the impulses that drag, push, pull anybody forwards?

The next frame of the story got lost.
It told about monitors, standing in the landscape and showing something and nothing, standstill pictures,
weird moving creatures, sleeping humans, could be known to you, once it would show Melvin sleeping, as he was passing by with Katy.
Who puts the monitors there, puts the pictures and footage on?
Only once Katy had seen somebody, slipping from one of the monitors into a fold in one of the rocks nearby.
She told Melvin that the picture of him sleeping was not a shot taken before, but that it was happening NOW then.

How is anybody able to take such a message?
Would there also be an awake Melvin, awake on one of the monitors?
Or Katy, or Eloise, or all of them together?

Katy said she´d never seen anybody awake on the monitor.
Just sleeping people, so her imagination concluded they might be awake when the people on this side were
sleeping.
Who would decide then, when to stay wake or sleep?

"I can´t believe the Frigos are just technicians who are interested in a game to play on people."
"M e l v i n , nobody said so, but you´re free to think for yourself, guess, imagine, whatever."
"I´m asking so many questions, imagining, getting no answers, it´s all helplessness."
"What´s bothering you?
You are here and you´re fine, are you, besides the pill food and your farting.
What do you want?"
"What I want? An explanation maybe. Something strikes me, can´t you guess?"
"It´s not mine to show you how to deal with it.
Why isn´t Eloise worried? Because she is a guruesque entity, which she is not?
And she´s not a happyslappy guy, like who gets protected from worries by being short-minded."

Eloise opened her eyes and looked up to them.

"That´s nicely said, Katy, didn´t expect it from you.
I´m working hard on it, though."
"On being short-minded?"
"Yes."
"Just go for it.
But switch it on again when talking, wouldya?"
"I can´t switch it on a g a i n , but I can switch on and I do, thanks."
"Gone again...
And you, Mel?"
"Listening."
"I don´t know where you are. Drifting away also?
Just take it easy, but take it serious."
"I´m all over it.
It´s just a monitor."
"No, it´s not."
"Who are the Frigos?"
"You wouldn´t like to hear it, but my version is of no higher importance for you, believe me.
Would make it harder to find your own.
I can´t tell you more.
But anybody reading this, can imagine better than you, what is going on here."
"I want to have earlids."
