1| A ordinary Day...?
July 6, 1983
(2 P.M)
"This is Triple-N.
Your trusted newscast with the latest news!
The outage of telephone lines continues, Knox Telecommunication expects the maintenance to last another week.
In other news.
Local residents of Kentucky County claim to have smelled a bad smell in the air for several weeks..........."
I haven't been able to communicate with mom and dad for days. I hope you are well on your trip to Hokkaido.
Sometimes I would like to be in Japan with them, I guess my unfortunate and dark student past does not allow me to return.
At least not for now, it's not that I care much either but I feel that new air would help me grow, that's how I ended up on the other side of the world, specifically in Kentucky, United States. I've only been here for 2 months and it seems like my life It's going much better than the 21 years full of failure at home.
I chose to live in an area known as Rosewood, there are not many people here, life is simple and comfortable... suitable for me, compared to life in big cities, I love it...
It's just me, the old guitar that my father gave me and a little friend who followed me from Japan.
Jimihen
It's funny that Jimihen followed me, at first my parents didn't want to let him come with me, by my side I don't miss home so much anymore, I mean it doesn't change much either, I usually didn't leave the room except to study or eat.
Which... is worse
Due to my bad finances and remembering at times that Jimihen exists I have had to look for a job, for any average adult, this should be step number one in their independence process... right?!
I know life here is quiet. I don't have annoying neighbors or noise that makes me uncomfortable, but if I have learned something in these months it is that not everything in life is perfect.
Dah... anyway I should stop complaining internally and look for some food for myself, since there isn't much at home anymore. The hateful thing about this is that any store is 1 hour from the house where I live.
I don't like sun.
---------40 minutes later-------
I really need to... improve my physical condition. I'm exhausted beyond belief, I can't imagine if there were some catastrophe or apocalyptic things...I would be the first to die because I couldn't stand walking so much.
—It's forty dollars for everything—The establishment's cashier interrupts my thoughts.
—Hey! To you! little girl, I'm talking to you!—I growl.
—Ah.... huh?... are you... talking to me?
—No way, I'm talking to the store's promotional poster—He responds sarcastically.
—I... I'm... sorry... I'm... sorry.
I forgot that my level of social interaction was as minuscule as a water flea. It's good to know that those little habits of mine are still.
—Eh...Oh yeah—I just wanted to get out of there, I just gave him the money and got ready to leave.
Now all that's left is the way home and I won't go out again for the next 15 days. And if I organize myself better I might not go out for a whole month. Well Hitori, every day you improve yourself!.
------A long walk back home--------
The way home was strange...
There was too much activity in the city, too many vehicles in the main area. Somewhat confusing, I still decided to ignore it, now back to my routine life.
—Jimihen! Dinner is ready!!—I shouted at the little dog's call.
For a moment I sat next to him and watched him eat, sometimes the small and simple things seem wonderful to me.
Well now that dinner is made... I guess we just have to wait for a new day to come.
Maybe something interesting will happen tomorrow?
Lately I've been getting into the habit of watching the news, let's see what's new right now.
"This is Triple-N.
And now with the weather news, today the city of Lousville fell dark with a thunderstorm, rain is ruled out, but stay home and avoid going out...."
Umm.. nothing new, it seems there was nothing interesting, I guess you can't expect a meteor shower every day. Well, now comes the best part of the day, too much physical and social effort for the month now..... I'll go to sleep...
"We interrupted the usual programming to give a special report on important events that occurred during the early hours of the morning. At 6 AM today, military personnel erect fences and walls, leaving the following towns in total isolation: Muldraugh, West Point , Brandenburg and Fort Nox itself. The closure of the main roads throughout Kentucky County is also reported. Residents report that they are prohibited from entering and if they refuse to leave they are threatened with gunshots.
A massive entry of dangerous material at the hands of the military was also reported at around 12 A.M. Finally, there is also a large traffic jam within the exclusion zone as residents of the area have called it, all heading north of Louisville.
We will keep you informed on the development of the event that took many by surprise............."
A slight discomfort invaded my body, I'll just turn off the television, enough for today.
I think... I think I asked for too many interesting things for today... well... it doesn't matter, I don't go out much either, I don't think this little confinement within my own confinement will do me any harm.
Maybe tomorrow everything will be solved or maybe even more things will happen. Na.... Hitori I think you shouldn't ask for more than you can receive or something like that was the phrase.
Well, if all this means locking myself at home and not going out for my own safety, then let it continue and last as long as it can!.
Nothing can go wrong
TRUE?!
