I look into my own eyes.
How long had I been at the basin? I struggle to remember why I’m even there.
I make myself decide that it doesn’t matter.
The wheels start turning and I’m kicked into motion. My unconscious mind is running this program, void of any deliberate intention.
I lock the front gate. I don’t remember walking to it. The crude smell of burnt coffee pollutes my nostrils. The clouds look heavy again. Again? When was the last time I observed the clouds? Is my head that empty? I wish.
The wind swindles my breath, and by the time it returns, I’ve lost my will to scream.
Last night’s dreams invade my thoughts.
Following futile protest, one of my front teeth was being extracted to donate to someone who needed it more. During the operation, my blood was being drained – but only so that I was too weak to escape the imminent flood that would kill many, caused by the explosion of a large ticking cartoon style time bomb.
That’s some messed up shit.
tbc….
