imagine you're sitting in a room, locked from the outside..
nothing there on the floor, only a window to the outside world with nothing covering the sunlight from piercing in. it was not at night, but somehow it was dimly lit..
then you sit there with your back on one side of the wall, not on the corner.. you put your feet so that the sunlight would hit you.. and you have come to learned that you get that warmth on your feet for only 15 minutes everyday..
strange, you never feel hungry nor thirst now.. and with no one around you are still at ease.. you can hear the world outside, but you are just, happy, because they do not know you are in there..
one thing you can possibly think of someone able to do in that room is hang oneself to death, but there was no rope..
it was all thinking and laughing..
every night falls the darkness, and one night you heard a coin clinks behind you.. it just appeared out of nowhere..
ever since then it was your favorite game ever.. every night when the dark falls, you throw the coin afar, and look for it in this game of darkness.. sometimes it is days, months, years, until you finally found it.. one day it was stuck on the bottom corner beneath the sink and you laughed your guts out..
it was a day, during the 15 minutes of sunlight, when you think you heard wrong.. it's like a whisper, if you like, that faded on exactly 20 cm away behind the back of your head on the midline..
the volume rises over the days, until one day it became very clear, and you had your first discussion..
not much of a story to tell, basically the voice always says exactly the opposite of what you say, hence the start of the discussion.. oh, the voice never comes during the sunlight period..
sometimes the voice found your coin during the coin game.. it is so good at it..
you can't wait for tomorrow to come and have your fair 15-minutes share of sunshine warmth on your feet..
maybe one day the world outside will stop its noise..
the unlimited loop of happiness..
goodbye..
