'Man in the Water'

I tried to comfort her. I didn’t like when she was sad, because I always became all sulky. Her eyes were honestly sad, which was making me able to tell, that she wasn’t lying. The next day I tried to see if anybody has reported a missing person. There were. Unfortunately it was a blonde female, which didn’t fit to Jenny’s pronouncement. Her description was a dark-haired male, so I guess it weren’t this ‘man in the water’. I checked every day, but this man was just never reported missing. It was like no one missed him. Maybe he had no family. Maybe he had no friends. Or maybe my Jenny wasn’t telling the truth. I guess I’ll never find the truth. Or definitely not immediately.

After a few months I stopped checking. The report I was searching for never showed up, and I thought it never would. Jenny began to complain about Pip’s and I for not trying hard enough to find this guy. She started given us the guilt for this persons disappearing and maybe even death. Neither of us knew why, and we found it very strange. Suddenly she began to behave normal again. Neither of us was thinking about this man in the water. He was forgotten, and was now past.
