"Why me? She asks now that everybody is gone.

Hey I don't know, ok!

"I don't even know you…"

True.

"And I don't know what to tell you to get you back here."

I'm already here, I just need to open my eyes.

"Jennie" she says in a low voice, like she's scared to wake me up. "I like your name. It's soft and sweet but very powerful at the same time. Not like Roseanne. It sounds fragile."

I like it. It's lovely.

"How did you get here?"

It's not that long of a story, but even if I tell you you won't hear it.

"They said you've been here for three weeks?"

24 days exactly.

"Why don't you wake up?"

I'm trying, not that easy.

"It's so weird. I don't know you and I can't get to know you because you're not here, or maybe you are but I can't hear you, but I feel like I know you."

That's creepy!

"Why me?"

Maybe because I feel like I know you too.

"I bet you have beautiful eyes."

I do not, they are boring eyes.

"Can you open your eyes for me, Jennie?"

I'd like too. I'm trying.

"Just once, ok. Try! Try hard little kitten."

What did you call me?

"You have to fight, ok? Fight! Give all you have, Jennie."

Say it again.

"Kitten? Do you like that nickname?

I do.

"Ok, so I'm gonna take your hand, and you're going to move your fingers, deal?"

Wait what?

I feel her fingers brushing my skin and it's like electricity just spread threw me. Usually when someone touches me, it feels like feathers, I can barely feel it. But Roseanne...she feels like rocks. And it's not a bad thing. It's like she's more alive than anybody else. She laced her fingers with mine. Her hand is warm, but it's not soft. It's like she built a whole house before coming here. It's rough, she should moisturize them. Her thumb is running on my skin, it's nice.

"Jennie? kitten? Move your fingers!"

I try. I try really really hard. I concentrate all my energy on my index, where her thumb brushes when she makes circles. My head starts hurting very very much, and if I was conscious I would close my eyes and fold my fist in concentration, and it's how it feels, but I know my body is not moving. I sigh inside my head. This takes so much energy. I'm exhausted. Did it work?

"Did you move? Did you do it? I'm not sure
