Seachd: The Inaccessible Pinnacle Page #3

You told a stupid story when

you should have been helping Granny.

And another story

the night Mammy and Daddy died.

I hate them! I don't believe them

and I never want to hear them again.

You're wrong, totally wrong.

- How's the job?

- Good.

Lots of money?

Enough.

Got a car?

Yes, a company car.

A company car! Well, well.

A nice colour?

Silver. Moondust silver.

Moondust silver!

Don't tell me!

A BMW?

A Volkswagen.

A Volkswagen. Oh, well, it'll do.

The others don't believe you're going to die.

You have to tell them.

You have to tell them the truth.

No one can tell the truth. Just stories.

Not in the real world.

Whose world, Aonghas? Mine or yours?

You don't have to be here.

You've done your duty.

Go back to your own world.

You don't have to stay to the end of mine.

On you go! It's all right.

Before you leave,

give this envelope to the doctor.

Many thanks.

I'm going to a better place now. A.M.

Aonghas!

Turn the car round, lad.

We're going back to the island.

I'm not going to Skye!

I'll walk, then.

- What are you doing?

- Walking home.

You'll kill us both! Get in!

Your father loved this place, Aonghas.

And your grandmother.

I know.

You too, Aonghas, at one time.

It's yours if you want it.

Sorry, no electricity.

It's unnatural, anyway.

That's me for the night.

Shake a leg, my boy!

Go and get a bite to eat!

We've got a lot to do today,

and we don't have much time.

Just one last thing,

and we're ready to go.

Go and get it.

Go on! Go and get it.

I'll be waiting in the company car!

What are we going to do?

We're going to end it.

The end of what?

The end of the story.

Move, lad!

Hurry up! Don't forget the bag!

This is as far as I can go.

I'm not going up that mountain for you!

Sit down, Aonghas!

It has to go back

to where it came from,

and you have to put it back.

This.

The Lord's my shepherd

I'll not want

He makes me down to lie

In pastures green

We'd better get back.

Why don't we just stay here a while?

You know, when you reach the end,

it almost feels the same as the beginning,

except that you know even less

than when you started.

But you know the truth.

Yes, yes, I do, Aonghas. Yes.

The whole truth of the story.
