“Blurtso envies Rudolph”
“Blurtso and Pablo decorate the cabin”
“Blurtso longs for Lizzy” (I)
I suppose many people have sat and wondered, over the years, about a loved one who was not there. A father, mother, son, daughter, husband, or wife. I suppose they woke up every morning and went to bed every night with a hole in their heart. With an empty space they carried around, struggling through the day with only half of themselves still there. I suppose that’s the most common way to go through life.
“Blurtso and friends visit the White Mountains”
What? said Blurtso. I can’t hear you over the leaves.
“Blurtso returns to an abandoned barn”
Just think of all the delicious silence that was here since I’ve been gone.
“Blurtso learns to fly”
Ooops!!!
“Blurtso looks at the snow” (XIII)
Harlan should be home soon. His last class ended thirty minutes ago. He’ll probably stop at the COOP for a cappuccino, then make his way up the street and across the bridge, and I won’t even hear him coming, until his trunk fumbles for the keys to the door.
“Blurtso looks at the snow” (VII)
The snow sure looks soft. I’ll bet I could leap from this treehouse and the snow would break my fall. I’ll bet I could do a back flip and land without a sound. But no one would believe it… if I didn’t make a sound. People don’t put much stock in silence.
“Blurtso and Harlan watch the snow”
I told you we could fit, said Blurtso.
