One day.
You should feel excited. You should feel hopeful. But it's been an eternity, and this next day is only another eternity. You don't remember where you are going. A word keeps repeating in your mind. Orange. Orange. Orange. Orange. It repeats for so long it is no longer a word, it is a song- a song of sounds that don't mean anything. Once the sounds gave you strength. Now, you don't remember what the word is supposed to mean.
The boy cries a lot.
Orange. Orange. Orange. Orange.
