Chapter 9:

Joe's expression was confusing, I couldn't tell wether he was going to answer or not and it made me afriad that he might not know.

"Emma..." Joe mumbled.
"Yes."
He nodded to himself as he was asking himself a question and answering to it.
"I don't know."
The three words echoed through out my head and brain.
The only sentence I wanted to avoid.
"You don't? Not even a little clue?"
I said in a frustrated tone.
"Emma, I want to know and I surely do, but I am old and don't remember things as I used to."
I wanted to cry for my own sake but I felt guilty for being frustrated at Joe, he did his best and I thanked him by being frustrated at him.

Sometimes I wonder now a days how it would have been if I died. Now when we have no idea of where we are I have lost all my hope of seeing my family again.
But seeing Joe recaptures some, small, very small hope again.
He is working so hard for both of us, makinh it livable here. I am still sore after the fall and rests. Joe always wakes up at 7:00 am, he eats breakfast and then out to find, first: a way of getting out of this hell, two: Some clues of how we can survive and what actually happened and three: Where we are.
He returns home again at 5:00 pm and make dinner, he gives me a plate and sits down on the floor, telling me about what he found out. That's basically how my days go. Well, I wake up around nine, eats breakfast, cleans up a little here and go to take some air, my lunges have habituated to the thickness ans dirtieness of the air, so I can breathe better.
