40) Dr. Creep? Are you here...? Where am I? I never would have arrived unannounced in one of those dirty little beach houses. I would not have kicked in a door. No no no. I'm not that way! I take death very seriously. Not my own. The death of others. You know I have no instruction. 'North' is not enough. It could be enough if there were not so much life between me and the end. Where is the end? I do not think 'North' is an end. It is only a direction, right? Dr. Creep, why am I so stupid? Please, what are you going to do? It is dark in here. But I thank you for the weak light, as far as it goes.
See me. Though my back pack, all of my possessions have been taken, I am not afraid. I am just a little troubled.
Thank you for the new bandages. I feel well enough to look around a bit. Am I in the hold of a ship? It smells like humanity down here. Real lovely. But also spices. Maybe fruit. Doctor, I am not angry. Can you appear, please? I did not mean to threaten you. I am not able to mean anything. Further, I have not talked with a single soul. I can only get close. Then my throat closes. I.... O.K., too much about me.
Are you taking me back to the ice? I do feel movement. Gentle rocking. I am in a cargo hold. I am going somewhere.

Doctor, Doctor, Doctor, Doctor, Doctor, Doctor, Doctor....I will shut up now.... North? I hear gulls. North.
