Dead time

That day, the sudden fainting knocked me down, and the results showed that I only had a few months left. I refuse radiochemotherapy. It doesn't help. I only have a few months left.

When I go home to eat, my parents still live together, even though they no longer love each other deeply. My sister took her baby. I don't like my sister because I don't like her having a baby. I said goodbye to my father and my mother. My sister was crying because of the quarrel with me. I didn't say goodbye to her. I didn't use the camera to take pictures of them.

When I got home, I looked at him who was still playing the game console, he was like a child, and I loved him so much, and then I also said goodbye to him. I took many photos of him while he was asleep. I drove the car, returned to my grandmother, and told her everything. Because she is going to die just like me. She knows me, and I know her. Before leaving, I also took photos of my grandmother.

I seem to be the same as before. I met a couple who thought I was good because of the man’s reproductive disease, and they hoped that I could create a small life for them. I reject them because I don't like children. I don't need children.

I'm still the same as before. I received a letter from my sister. My sister said something that moved me. I was very moved. I stood in the distance, called her, looked at her and her children, and I stood behind and took pictures of them. I said, sister, kiss you. love you. I saw the child crying, I was laughing.

He found a job and didn't need to live on me anymore. He came to see me and I said, can I have sex with you for the last time. I really want to have sex with you for the last time. He rejected me, saying that since he left, he should not look back. I hold his hand and put it in my heart, can you feel it? He was still beating.

I went back to find the couple. I promised to create a little life for them. No, it's to extend my life. I shaved my hair, as if I shaved off three thousand trouble threads, I was free. The woman is pregnant, and I am pregnant too.

I bought swimming trunks and diving glasses, I went to the beach and sat down. I liked the sea when I was very young, just as I liked him when I was very young. After swimming for a while, I went ashore and continued to sit. I smoke, I put my hands around my knees, and I still take out the camera to take pictures.

I am a little cold and a little tired. I then lay down. The sun is very good, spreading inch by inch on my body; the sea is blue, spreading around my feet; I am quiet, falling asleep bit by bit in my heart.

    Le père: Romaine, stop.

    Sophie: Leave it, Dad.

    Romain: And you know why? Because they sprang from you, and your ugly mug would be in the picture. It makes me want to puke.

    La mère: Romaine, stop it!

    Romain: No wonder your man left. It's like you made the kids alone.

  • Le père: How are things with Sasha?

    Romain: Not bad, not great. We'll probably break up soon.
