How long can you go without a mirror? Can you sit alone on a porch with the company of yourself in mind without ever really knowing you exist? No feedback -- like having an imaginary friend.
I'd always want to play games alone, but would soon learn games are so much more fun with challenges, with a partner.

Would i soon imagine a friend walking toward me with enthusiasm in its eyes? Would we find ourselves caught up in our challenges? Would our challenges collaborate to create something so great that we'd never forfeit, never win, never lose... but play on forever, or until one of us runs out of energy?
Would i have enough faith, enough trust in it that i never question the creative energy it has stored from its free time on its porch alone without a mirror?

HAS IT BEEN AS BORED AS I WAS THEN?

will i later, having had enough, all caught up in fantasy, find myself having imagined the entire thing? The friend of mine came along at a time when i was so entirely ready, had so much energy that i ran too far to walk back.
but now here i am, sitting on a porch alone miles from where i started. My friend may be waiting for me to get up and play with it again, it may even be crying... or my friend may be on a porch of its own, and like me,

storing energy and waiting for a new idea to come along.

or maybe its had another idea ready and waiting.
