It’s around midnight. I get into the metro and take a seat. I am so tired that I lean my head on the wall and close my eyes. I have about ten minutes to go. I can feel my veins pulsing in my boots. My feet are tired, I can’t wait to be in my [...]

I wake up but forcefully keep my eyes closed. I try to fall asleep again. I was dreaming that I was at the seaside and that I was looking for my bathing suit. It is too early to wake up, I really want to swim. I turn in my bed to find a more comfortable [...]
