1:19:13
I remember watchir him
from my bedroom window.
1:19:18
He'd just disappear in the dark
with his overcoat on.
1:19:24
Where was he going?
1:19:28
Just walkir.
1:19:33
I was making a decision.
1:19:36
And one night...
1:19:40
I asked him if I could go with him.
1:19:48
And he took me.
1:19:52
We walked straight out
across the fields together.
1:19:55
I remember it was just ploughed
and our feet sank down in the powder.
1:20:02
The dirt came up over the tops
of my shoes and weighed me down.
1:20:06
I wanted to stop and empty my shoes out
but he wouldn't stop.
1:20:10
He kept walkir straight ahead.
1:20:14
I was afraid of losir him in the dark,
so I just kept up as best I could.
1:20:23
And we were completely silent
the whole time.
1:20:27
We never said a word to each other.
1:20:30
We could barely see a foot in front of us
1:20:32
and these white owls kept swooping down
out of nowhere, hunting forjack rabbits,
1:20:37
diving right past our heads
and disappearing.
1:20:40
We just kept walkir silent like that
for miles until we got to town.
1:20:49
I remember seeir the old man in
the liquor store as he paid for the bottle.
