"It has been raining for three days; I haven't worn my contact lenses in I don't know how long. I feel like I can't leave the room anymore. The cold and damp have clumped together this suspended time, squeezing out a melancholic juice: inevitably forcing me to think. I am curled up on the bed, wearing three sweaters on top of each other, to no avail. The rain has interrupted the road works that haunted me, deafening and exhausting like a discordant fanfare. Either the noise or the rain, either way boredom. Either way, the emptiness. An emptiness that is even understanding, never bitter. A complacent emptiness that has crept inside me as silently as poison. I have known it for a long time, it no longer surprises me. (p. 59)"
