Mother is snoring like an elephant with bronchitis, and I'm tempted to tape her trunk up. 

The computer is loading. I'm going to check the emails. I bet that one from the BBC is waiting to be opened and read.

Not now, Boris, I haven't got time to talk. Got to check my emails.

Updating.

Not happy with this. Thing seems to be always updating. Slow, slow, slow.
Not now, Boris. I'll talk later.

I met Boris two years ago. Couldn't understand a word he said, and he told me to learn Russian so I could speak to him. Spent months on that. Turns out he speaks Hebrew. 

Still updating..

Now you're testing and breaking me a little. I'll let you know that computer. Taking too long.

Still updating!

Yes, it's an insult Boris, a God damn insult. I'll tell you when to update. Makes me mad. You better not make me wake mother. Not again. Updating.........

Smashed my hand up. Monitors broken. Mothers awake. She's looking at me with those eyes again; the scared ones.
