a floating stick ready to find other floating sticks.

What will a floating stick do after returning home? It will work just like before, but will read different letters, along with other ones from before. It will dream of the arms of things left aloft in the floating water, things that it never touched but dreamed of touching, it will dream again of that. And friends will appear, more easier. Will a stick pulled from a year of floating soak up the water left on its skin or will it slide off? I, stick taken from floating water, oath: staying slimy.
