Is it wounded?
It’s wounded, physically and metaphorically.
What does it sound like?
It sounds like another ceramic object, no really special sound.
Would it break if I step on it?
It will break, and it already did. I broke it on purpose.
What is written on it?
A short diary of 14 days quarantine.
15:48 o’clock local time,
28 degree outside.
The air-conditioner has been on for more than 10 hours,
It makes this hissing noise, and sounds like air escaping from the
balloon. I was told:
“Be careful with catching a cold”,
so I turn it off.
My body temperature goes up, I feel nervous,
so I turn the air conditioner on. Their voice came to my head. So I turn it
off again.
Again and again. Over and over,
I feel tired.
