Playing with person: Activity
I’m sitting here looking out of the window. Nothing’s happening; it never does. I sit here every day for hours on end, just looking. Looking for what? I don’t know. They never told me what I should be looking for. And I’ve never found out.
I once thought I’d found something, but I couldn’t be sure. It might just have been a trick of the light. How was I to tell?
