I am boiling mad.

I’m having a tantru. Renn teased me that my outbursts weren’t tantrums, but tan-trus.

I thrash about, throwing myself over my banks. I twist and whirl and swirl. I glare at the sun, at the earth, at the sky. I try to shove that shopping cart out from under me, but the thing won’t budge. At least I’ve rusted the handle.

People. They’re like the flies that constantly hover above my surface. I have no choice but to put up with both of them.

Most of my long, curving path from north to south is just me, coursing along, some parts high, other parts low. Miles and miles across the land. But at my end, in the south, Renn is there. Always ready to greet me with the rising of the sun. How are you this fine morning? Tell me a joke, play a game, lift my spirits on a gray, chilly, rainy day. Try to soothe me when I get angry and out of control.

And now.

It’s so quiet, so empty, I cannot bear it.

Renn never hurt anybody. People made Renn sick, I’m sure of it. I don’t know if I can ever forgive them.

There were times my cousin annoyed me, I admit, when I wasn’t in the mood to talk or play or hear a silly pun.

Why did the river watch the news?

I don’t know.

To stay current!

But I understand now.

Remember? Renn asked me before the silence. Remember when we were really loved?

I didn’t answer. But I do. I remember.
