A Statement May Be a Question

He slipped away? Or did they take him?
Stranger things have happened, have they not?
Why do I ask so many questions of myself?
Or am I asking questions of him?

I could make statements.
He went off of his own accord.
This is one of his stranger happenings.
I have to ask so many questions.

So, this could be a question.
Or is it a statement?
This is why I ask what I should say.
Am I happier quashing questions?

Is this so? Yet surely not.
They took him. He slipped away.
Did he slip away?
Or did they take him?
