Journey to Self 8

He was at Hovenweep and filming the ruins in the mountains being lit by lanterns in the kivas to show what they would have looked like at night. Something that was coming to a close as the rangers wanted to better preserve the area.
The lit cave ruins with the Milky Way above them and snowy fields around everywhere were awe inspiring. And he just allowed the scene of the ruins slowly lighting up in the night speak for itself when he posted it.

He had already heard from Chris about the train videos and to never post an ending like that again and scare him. He had promised him he was coming back.
This sight and the next few were to be apologies to him. As he just set the camera to record through the night and when he posted he would have it go so that the universe above was high-speed going around the cave ruins. Lit through the night. Till dawn came.

The Mesa was slowly transforming into the famous Mesa at Monument Valley, and the sun was rising over that. An early eagle flying in the scene. Coyote Oldman on his flute playing in the background. As the sun hit the sky around its Mesa and surrounded it, the theme from Close Encounters softly played.
Just the more famously known notes, before turning into the opening to Hallelujah from Handel.
The sun hit the top of the Mesa on the last note of the opening chorus and both faded out.

The word at the bottom, scrolling up the blackness, came from a childhood book Buck had shared with Chris not long after he had met him.
Then from far away across the world he smelled good things to eat, so he gave up being king of the wild things.” – ‘Where The Wild Things Are’.
This was followed by the chorus lyrics to “Coming Home” by Skylar Grey:

He had been in long talks with Eddie, and everything had come out about the fallout from Chim’s arrest and being placed in the psych ward of the hospital. His daughter in the care of her grandparents after she was out of the pediatric ward for Chim’s ignoring her as he fell further into his psychosis.
The department finally being fed up with the station’s A-Shift and forcing all of them into mandatory therapy. No working until they actually passed their evals. And requalified fully.

I’m coming home
I’m coming home
Tell the world I’m coming
