FEELING A LITTLE BETTER, BUT STILL WISHING FOR NEARBY FRIENDS

 Fiorella is bored, bored, bored. She's taped up a cute pumpkin design in her front window, gone through far too many TV shows that she's seen before, and called Walgreens that she'll eventually pick up her bottle of pills that actually, she'll probably never need again. 

What next? Your girl is the action type, and there's nothing for her to do but walk up the street to the mail box.... except that she doesn't have any envelopes to mail.

Maybe Fio will pick up her paint brushes and return to the 4x5 family portrait she started so many years ago--she's pretty sure the rough canvas is dry enough by now that it won't bleed. Maybe she could also go through the build-up on her bedside table again--and the left wall in her bedroom, on which your girl has been tacking all her chuckles, pictures, memorials, important news, and letters, etc.

We want so desperately to believe there is an order to the universe, a tomorrow that has already been, a purpose, a plot. We want to believe in signs and portents--anything because there is a a security in having a destiny to fulfill, however  minuscule or frightening.

The future is unknown because because it has not yet been. It can be controlled  to some degree, but not seen. It can be determined (decided physically or mentally) to some degree, if one is in tune, but not seen, can be determined (decided), but it can't be neutrally seen because it doesn't exist in that context.
