in the morning, blasting, the señora puts the television on in the kitchen while she prepares the meals, the television is loud so she can hear it everywhere in the house, then she goes up to the rooms and puts on the same program, cleaning, constant cleaning, everyday routine, sweeping the floor, changing the sheets. at lunch time the noise has a soothing effect. people chatting away, eating, spoon and fork hit plate, laughter and warmth. so easy to fall asleep, deep, easy-going sleep. all the food weighs down, heavy, unable to walk anymore, the heat, on the bed and 2 hours later you wake up feeling like you were drunk. what happened? in the night a man falls asleep with his light on, and the music is playing on youtube, it continues to play throughout the night, somehow the sharp light doesnt wake him up. even at 5am before the sunrise, the light is still on.

"Whatever caused the slump that, in turn, became a panic, one thing was clear—none of those who had helped to inflate the bubble felt responsible for its bursting. They were the blameless casualties of a disaster of almost natural proportions." Diaz, H. (2022). Trust: Winner of the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Pan Macmillan.
