Chainsaw
He stood a few meters in front of the veranda and waited. For sure the man had heard him and would speak to him if the time was right.
He gestured him to sit down and offered a lemonade without asking first if he was thirsty.
"That doll, what's it for?"
"I am not sure. I like to ask her."
"Ah, it's hers?"
"No, I don'believe it is."
"How should she know?"
"She was gone for a long time, she saw things, met people."
"Those who harmed her..."
He took a sip from his glass... lemon.
"... the danger is still there?"
"I hope not. I hope not for her but there will be for many others if I can't find the one who knows more."
"Is it the monster house?"
"You read the papers?"
"I hear news, certain news and can see. She isn't here but you can find her at the forest over those hills. We need food. You like her hat? You will find the hat."
Both men sat and drank their lemonade in silence. It was only a few days ago a dead emu brought him over here. It was a nice, quiet place. Good for a man alone, a man who loves nature, appreciates it and wasn't in a hurry. It was a good place to forget the world, all the hectic.
"Thank you."
Slowly he walked into the direction of the hills. Did he like the hat?
Approaching someone with a chainsaw in his hands isn't a wise thing to do. He decided to wait. Sooner or later the noisy engine would stop.
