Teylie sighed and carefully tore the page out, starting again from scratch. She tried carefully this time to get the point of his nose right before she went on to the rest of the picture.

Felix’s hair waved majestically in the wind, shimmering a bright blond in the sunlight. If he were… awake, he probably would be a very lovely person.

"Felix…I want to figure out why you are frozen.." she sighed and showed him the picture, semi happy with the result.

He didn’t see it. His gaze didn’t even flicker. He just gazed blankly at the opposite wall of the poor corner store across from him.

Teylie stood up and looked where Felix was looking, wondering what was so special about that corner store.

It was just an old mom and pop corner store. Little posters of sales and lottery posters with blinking, bright signs.

Teylie shook her head and sat back down "I don't know about you sometimes Felix.." she smiled and chuckled lightly as she glanced at the store "What's so special about a little corner store?" she asked Felix.

He didn’t answer. His gaze was just glued to a poster of a pretty woman showing off a lottery ticket.

Teylie stood up and looked back at the corner store, sighing "Am I missing something? What are you looking at?"

Felix literally never moves, talks, or even breathes. Why in the world is she asking such a question that will never get answered?

"I'm going to go see what you are staring at Felix, I'll be right back." She shoved her hands into her pockets and trudged over to the store, standing in various places in front of it to see exactly where he was staring.

He wasn’t staring at anything particular. Just near a poster of that beautiful woman and her happy little lottery card.

Teylie glanced at Felix and them back at the poster, pointing at it and mouthing "This is what you are looking at?"

Felix didn’t respond, and his gaze didn’t waver. He just continued staring aimlessly at the pretty poster.

She walked inside and had a quick conversation with the cashier, buying two lottery tickets that were on that poster. She jogged back to Felix and sat down on the ground, "Well Felix, this is just because i'm bored.."

Felix was frozen in his place, as usual, unmoving as she scratched out the little scratch-offs. Everyone knew the poster for the lottery was a scam. But as she scratched, the little pictures lined up right. She just had to scratch off one more bee to win the jackpot.

Teylie's face lit up as she looked at the ticket, "Felix…I might win…." she stood up next to him and held out the ticket "Do you think I'll win?"

Felix didn’t respond nor move. Perhaps if he were alive he’d prompt her to scratch off the last one to see if she wins.

Teylie shrugged "It's worth a shot…." she carefully scratched off the last square and closed her eyes "I'm too nervous to look."

Well, when she eventually looked, it turned out to be… another bee! She had won the $200,000 jackpot!

Teylie squealed happily and hugged Felix, knowing that he probably wasn't going to hug back "Felix! I just won!!"

Felix didn’t hug back nor share in her excitement. The other card she got laid at his feet, fluttering threateningly.

"Eeeeeeeeeee! what should I do with my money!" she smiled up at him "Well, first I'm going to see if there is any way to unfreeze you.." she picked up the other lottery ticket and held it out "Should scratch this one off too?"

Felix didn’t say anything, though it probably would be wise of her to scratch off the other. No use in wasting money!

Teylie smiled happily and scratched off the boxes, not surprised that it wasn't a winner. She jogged back to the store and turned the winning ticket in, a giant smile on her face.

The person at the desk seemed surprised but called in the win anyway. They asked for her name and address, so the cash could get sent to her when it was drummed up.

"Teylie Carr, 152 Witberry Rd." She smiled triumphantly and tapped her fingers on the counter.

The person nodded and wrote it down, taking her card. “Okay. We’ll send it in today, and you should get the cash soon.”

She nodded "Ok, thank you!" she said happily and walked back out the door, almost skipping back to Felix.

Felix was still blank and soulless, his eyes staring out forward. No signs of pent up excitement or giddiness.
