I sit on the couch. As always, the sound of the broken structure welcomes me home. I turn on the TV and the news are on. My dad probably had been watching some before leaving to work this morning. 
I'm about to switch channels when i read the heading. 


"Causes of this event are still unknown, and scientists are investigating about the topic as much as they can. 
According to my sources, we have a hundred and seven - sorry Gary, what? Oh! Fine, sorry - I apologize, i meant a hundred and nine days in terra. Approximately, three months and two weeks-"

This is bullshit. It's probably talking about a new movie. I switch to the new channel: Different headlines, same information. &lt;&lt;Wow, this movie must be a hit&gt;&gt; I keep switching. Same movie. Switch. Again the movie. Switch two times, the movie. This time with a translator for deaf people. Switch without counting the amount of times i pressed the damn button. Same happens. &lt;&lt;Okay, I'm friggin done&gt;&gt;. I turn off the TV and go to my room.
