Cecil Baldwin

I really do.

I want to be able to talk to my friends and neighbors again to stop being such an outsider in my own community.

But I have to be honest.

I tried.

I tried.

And I find this show so boring and cliche.

I just, I can't, I can't do it.

I'd honestly rather listen to the sound of my own voice talking to no one.

Actually, it's kind of freeing, just broadcasting for myself.

I haven't done that since I was a kid, when I had my political commentary show in the old culvert on Drainage Ditch Road.

I think if I was the last person on Earth, I would probably still be broadcasting.

And times like right now, when Antler Cove is on and everyone's at home watching, it almost feels like I am the last person on Earth.

No one's out driving or walking their dog.

No one's running errands or working or socializing.

The whole city is dark and quiet, except for the glow of screens behind closed curtains and the sound of my voice bouncing around the atmosphere with no one to hear it.

I'm a tree in the forest, falling.

A man in a radio booth, droning.

A person doing something for his own satisfaction, even in a vacuum, even when there's no one to witness it.

I guess that has to be enough.

Sometimes.
