curiously.

It wasn’t until just now that it dawned on me that Martha and my mother

were both patients in the same hospital ward, but she was further along in

The things I said to Martha were all lies. She might notice that the woman she

was watching on the television a week ago has the same face as mine if I

removed my face mask.

I proceeded to the restroom in order to brush my teeth, but to my dismay… I

discovered that there was no toothpaste available. In addition, there was no
