Day 4: Dialogue only, please.
Why can't I hear you?
You are deaf.
Why can't I see you?
You are blind.
But I can hear and see other things.
Am I a thing?
Why does everyone else have it easier?
They don't. You're being self-obsessed.
I want what they have.
Go and get it then.
I can't.
Why not?
I have no job.
You'll get one.
When?
When you get one.
But what about now?
-
What about what's going on in my head?
Do more.
I try.
Read more.
I have been.
See more.
See more what?
-
I see.
-
I wonder why, in a world of over 7 billion people, there are only a handful - not even that - who you regularly think about, and are affected by.
-
No, not you, obviously.
I hurt too.
Yes. I don't know why I - sorry.
-
And we always come back to you.
I find this really sad. Great writing though!
