Am I going insane? No, really.

The likelihood of that really isn't that great. I doubt you are.

What happened?

[ps_guesswhat]

Thank you, Henry. But I'm going to disagree with you.

Remember how I spoke to you about Gerry? Dead husband? Brain tumor?

*rubs her forehead*

He's alive. He's been alive. He's just--I don't even--Ugh.

[a_darker_dream]

He's alive? But how can that... *frowns* You saw him?

[ps_guesswhat]

See! That's exactly what I did!

*shakes head, confused*

I-I don't know! He was just--he was ther! He was just there! And at first, I thought that I was losing my mind, but he said that he had been getting -- had been getting some sort of, uh, treatment? Or something? Down in Houston ..

And so then I blew up. Got so pissed at him. And then I was pretty sure that I was just hallucinating. And, y'know, to be honest - I'm still pretty sure that I'm hallucinating.

But I touched him! I touched his arm! And he--he was--he was there. It was him.

Why? What happened, Holly?

[ps_guesswhat]

*blinks*

My dead husband's not--he's not dead.

[vivo_per_ardua]

...I have no smartass comment for that.

[ps_guesswhat]

That's .. It's alright. It's not really necessary.

I just--I feel like I'm losing my mind.

More than I already have.
