THAT’S NOT WHAT HAPPENED Tales from the Loop — Country Road Kids Inspired by Stranger Things
Sean:
“They’re saying he slipped.”
Eljara:
“Yes.”
Sean:
“He didn’t.”
Eljara:
“No.”
Sean:
“I saw it.”
Eljara:
“I know.”
Pause.
Sean:
“They pushed him.”
Eljara:
“Yes.”
Sean:
“Two of them.”
Eljara:
“Yes.”
Sean:
“And now?”
Eljara:
“Now they didn’t.”
Silence.
Sean:
“There are marks.”
Eljara:
“Yes.”
Sean:
“On his arm.”
Eljara:
“Yes.”
Sean:
“And they’re still saying he slipped.”
Eljara:
“Yes.”
Pause.
Sean:
“He said it too.”
Eljara:
“Yes.”
Sean:
“What?”
Eljara:
“He said he slipped.”
Sean:
“He didn’t.”
Eljara:
“I know.”
Sean:
“Then why would he say that?”
Eljara:
“Because they did.”
Silence.
Sean:
“That’s not enough.”
Eljara:
“It is here.”
Sean:
“He was there.”
Eljara:
“Yes.”
Sean:
“He felt it.”
Eljara:
“Yes.”
Sean:
“And now he’s agreeing with them.”
Eljara:
“Yes.”
Pause.
Sean:
“That’s not memory.”
Eljara:
“No.”
Sean:
“That’s… what?”
Eljara:
“Correction.”
Silence.
Sean:
“He’s changing it.”
Eljara:
“Yes.”
Sean:
“To match them.”
Eljara:
“Yes.”
Sean:
“And if he didn’t?”
Eljara:
“He’d stand out.”
Sean:
“And then?”
Eljara:
“They’d fix it.”
Silence.
Sean:
“He knows.”
Eljara:
“Yes.”
Sean:
“I can see it.”
Eljara:
“Yes.”
Sean:
“He’s not forgetting.”
Eljara:
“No.”
Sean:
“He’s choosing.”
Eljara:
“Yes.”
Pause.
Sean:
“That’s worse.”
Eljara:
“Yes.”
Sean:
“What happens after that?”
Eljara:
“It stabilizes.”
Sean:
“And the other version?”
Eljara:
“It fades.”
Long pause.
Sean:
“So what actually happened?”
Eljara:
“What everyone says happened.”
Silence.
Sean:
“And the truth?”
Eljara:
“Doesn’t have enough people.”
