Someone Stole The Spirit - Episode 15

"Houston is filled with promise? What does that even mean?"

"This traveling from place to place is making me dizzy!"

"Are you sure, it's the traveling and not the strange story this self-called elf is trying to tell us?"

Anthony is trying to stop the animal.

"I can see now that you are not his spiritual animal, KussKuss", the elf says, "not even in another form. K'eyush was way more supporting and comforting to Nanuk."

"Hey", the llama says. "I lay my snout on his shoulder, comforting, didn't you see that?"

I am rubbing my closed eyes.

"I remember that night in the cold. It was the night I ran away and almost froze to death despite my seal-skin anorak. And there were rainbow lights in the middle of the night and K'eyush and Grandma White Feather to protect me, although my grandma was already dead at that point. My uncle found me and they brought me to a hospital. The rest of that time is one blurry mess. The man in black disappeared somehow and the village was save for some time to come."

Anthony's head is sinking sadly on his chest.

"You don't remember", he says, "You don't remember me, Nanuk."

"How can I remember an elf?" I ask myself. "We aren't living in a fairy tale. And elves are fantastic creatures, aren't they?"

"But you can accept a walking and talking llama?"

Get out of my head, animal!

BING!

I don't want to go.

"Bromford"

Smoke lingers 'round your fingers
Train, heave on to Euston
Do you think you've made the right decision this time?

You left your tired family grieving
And you think they're sad because you're leaving
But didn't you see the jealousy in the eyes
Of the ones who had to stay behind?

And do you think you've made the right decision this time?

You left your girlfriend on the platform
With this really ragged notion that you'll return
But she knows that when he goes, he really goes

And do you think you've made the right decision this time?
