Even though the sun shines in the blue sky, my days seem to become greyer and greyer.

Michael used to be happy. Sure, his life was not perfect, but no one's is.
He worked as a computer technician at the local University, five days a week, from 9am to 5pm. His salary was good enough for him, since he lived alone, now. He used to live with his girlfriend, but they broke up two months ago, after he discovered she was having sex with his cousin Fred. His mother pasted away five years ago and his father the year after. He had nor brothers nor sisters, so he inherited the house and sold it right away. He bought the apartment he was living now, the car he was driving last night and he still had enough money to buy another apartment and two more cars like that one. Today is Friday. Fridays were his favorite day of the week: after work, he would to the grocery to buy beer, vodka and tequilla. Then, he would go home, take of all his clothes, seat naked on the sofa, drinking and masturbating while watching porn. He would do it until he was drunk enough to fall asleep right there, on top of empty bottles and tissues with his own semen. The morning after, he would shower and the world would feel like a better place. Now, lying in the hospital bed, unable to move or speak, he only could think that he may never have another Friday to enjoy or another Saturday to see the world as a better place. He felt nothing. It was like he was imprisoned in a dead body, even though he could see nurses and doctors coming and going. He saw one beautiful female nurse who came to him, touched his hand and then injected something on him. He saw her go away. He slept all day. He dreamed he was watching porn on his red sofa, but it was his ex fucking his cousin he was seeing. He closed his eyes and when he opened them, he was in his car, surrounded by fog. It must be some kind of sign, this fog. It was dark and he couldn't see anything. Then, those big yellow eyes behind him and a bang! He woke up again, lying in the hospital bed. It was dark as in the dream. He realized what happened to him, the big truck, the accident and all. But he didn't understand how it took place. He figured it didn't matter, anyway. Suddenly, he felt an acute pain on his chest and heard a loud beep around him. He tried to move his head towards the sound, but it was useless. He saw a nurse entering the room and screaming for help. Then, many doctors came in and he was in the dark again. This time he dreamed he was fucking the beautiful nurse that touched his hand. She was screaming in pleasure while he went inside her, then outside and then inside her again. When he was almost done, he was dragged out of the dream to reality and for a second, the doctors and nurses were around him. One of them, doctor he thought, had two metallic squares on his hands and was rubbing them together. He looked up and caught a glimpse of the sky outside the window. It was the dawn he saw. And in the moment he was dying, he felt that the world was once again a better place. |
