Peter thinks it’s like a radio and he’s the
...static...
he shouts and yells and screams and begs
...they try to turn him down...
He’s not real.
In Walter’s mirror and Olivia’s dreams. He looks out at them.
Is this what it was like when Olivia believed she was
herself? (In another world)
She said she saw him there. Telling her to come home.
But he was not...
...only a figment in her mind.
She sees what doesn’t belong.
It glimmers. (ghostly)
If he doesn’t glimmer
does
he
exist?
Am I real? AM I REAL?
REAL?
He catches fragments of moments. Walter alone. Olivia lonely.
When they speak it doesn’t make sense. Their words twist in the air and
...do not fit together.
Peter was a boy who died.
Peter was a boy who grew up.
He fell in love and destroyed a world.
...actions...
...reactions...
...but not causal...
He didn’t start this, he won’t finish it.
That was
WALTER.
OLIVIA.
Sometimes things don’t connect the way you think they will and sometimes
He said
goodbye.
To Olivia.
And because he could
he became
(the boy who died twice).
When he speaks they can’t hear him, because he interrupts their days and their dreams.
He stands in the mirror and shouts. Walter turns away.
But the radio won’t tune in
And the Ouija board spins out of their grasp.
So Peter keeps
...shouting.
twist the knob on the radio
hold your fingers still
There’s a flash of
...
he is fighting for
...
...and signal...
but they look through him.
His words twist in the air
...they do not fit together.
"Olivia," he speaks for the first time after talking for so long.
I exist. I am real. You see me. You hear me. "Thank god."
"Who are you?"
He is
(a ghost)
(a figment)
(the boy who died twice)
still just static.
