Im in bed.
Bed.
I look at the word bed written on the screen.
Bed.
It looks like bad but not quite.

I no longer go for walks without my bamboo stick. Tightly held in my hand, thin and light, it beats the invisible particles which try to land on me and bite. My face is hidden as in shame under a rough gag, my hands are getting rusty, missing the touch of other hands. My…
