What is he looking at?

I'm really not sure. Lights had been flickering in the house for months, ever since my father died, and sometimes it felt like there was meaning in it. The light in this bathroom sometimes flickered too. A few days before this we noticed the star on the Christmas tree flickering - just the star, not the rest of the lights. I tried addressing "whoever" was trying to communicate, and the star began blinking slowly on, off, on, off. After a few moments it stopped. Dad loved dogs. I don't know.
