Overslept today.

The clock confuses me.

Oh, Addie.

She smiles brightly upon seeing Hank Hello Hank!

Does changing the hour serve any real purpose?

Some think so.

It gives you more evening time.

The same amount of time exists regardless of what a silly clock says.

...regardless of what a silly girl says.

Yes.

I forgot to reset mine.

I did not know I was supposed to. Time is very annoying.

Yes. It is indeed. When you want something to happen it passes like molassas and when you are enjoying yourself it passes you by like cars on the interstate.

That is very true.

You doing well today, besides the clock fiasco?

Yes, I am well. Why not just use the sun for time?

But what would you do at night?

So, someone left me a pie.. It wasn't you was it?

Sit by the fire and stitch? Sleep?

It was not me.

I meant.. how would you tell time. Though sitting by the fire is fun.

Oh. I wonder who knew my favorite.

Why would you need to?

Perhaps a good friend knew.

I like knowing time at night so I can decide if I've been awake too long.

What is too long, according to you?

Three days without sleep.

You can watch that pass without a clock. If you must, you can use the location of the moon.

Are you having trouble sleeping?

No. I'm not having trouble sleeping. I've been known to write for three days straight before, stopping only for coffee and bathroom breaks. Sleep has been good actually. Deep and dreamless.

A clock is pointless then, correct?

Yeah. I guess that a clock would be pointless then.

Does that happen often?

Me not sleeping? Yeah. Sometimes the nightmares are a bit much. Other times I'm busy writing.

I cannot help you with nightmares.

No. No one can really. The things that are in them have already happened. Just my brain obsessing over them I guess.

You help me forget them when I am awake, however. Just by being my friend.

I am sorry those things have happened, but I would love being a friend to you.
