In the house with the broken window, I remove the dirt from my socks and boots.
Someone comes upstairs.
I fall silent.
At the table, I think back to the conversation with everyone who died.
I wake up.

I somersault, fall backwards, hook my feet on the rope. The feet miss the ropes and the fingertips of the hands support the fall. My head snaps back, my neck hits the mattress, I hear the sound of bones breaking. The body shuts down. The body levitates. The legs float, the arms move and I feel nothing.
I’m on fire. My shoulders ache. My collarbones are stuck to my neck and my joints are short-circuiting. They burn me.
