I was playing Deadlock and my game crashed so I decided to stop for the day. I took the elevator to head to our other apartment but when I got to the ground floor I realized I had forgotten my keys and had to go back upstairs to get them.

I browsed through some old photo albums and started crying. The memories in the photographs felt so distant. I felt like I had been wasting my time for the last ten years.

I walked into a hair salon which was noticeably more humid than the outside. There was a large black dog inside which immediately jumped up to greet me and tried to put its paws on my shoulder. The owner assured me that he was very friendly and apparently didn’t even eat bones.
