With Kafka to talk about he will speak miles per minute. Will tell you that there never existed a better coalesce of…

This trend continues for five more years, and the now twenty three year old are homeless. Their parents kicked them out and they spent every last dime on booze and drugs. The same group of drunks now meander mindlessly from alleyway to alleyway, for they no longer even try to sustain a job. They beg, they steal, and the eventually die.

I don’t care to be alone, so I knock at Emese’s front door. “Hello, lovely to see you,” she says, and invites me into the foyer. “How are you?” “I’m not sure. It’s been a crazy day.” “There’s roast chicken with tarragon in the oven,” she says, “I’d love for you to join me for an early dinner.” “Thanks.” We walk into the kitchen.
