I am very strong

Practically naked.
Peep out through the crack.

Nothing.

I am very strong. I am very strong today... when passes by a little draft about my hips. Hum.
I tape another layer on and start to sweat.
It is sticky. Hum. Err. Huh.
Can still feel a slight wind between my ribs. Put a finger there.
I am very... much practically naked.
Take the tape out again and stick another layer on. It is sticky.
I am wet.
Huh.

Clackity clack clack. It ain't easy.
But I am very strong today.
Gather some courage and go look through the crack.
Just one glance.
OKAY?
okay.
One.

There. Hum.
A lot of reflections. And a stench. But that's me, hey.
Hehe. Heh.
Nothing.

It ain't easy when you're born almost blind.
Everything is steel. Black and shiny.
Like my head.
Tiny live machines, woodpeckers banging.
Banging on old cold steel, throwing sparks through the cracks.
Hurts and makes a lot of noise.
Hurts and makes a lot of light.

RETINA

I don't look out much. There is them - faces of steel.
Bright black and shiny.
Reflecting me.
I am cold.
My fingers crawl to my pocket, tape... Huh. No.
It's okay.
Hum.
Inside.
I am... I think.

There is a noise up there

They are banging again.
Go and see. Huh.
I don't know...
Peep.
A lot of light.

He is talking to me!
Huh...

I almost fell but I clinged back.
My hand is pushing the wall.
MY hand is very sweaty.
Liquefy.
He is talking to me, and shining, all bright.
Huhuh.
My back is against the wall.
Holding. Sweaty filthy puddles dripping down.
I am going to puke.
This metal face is staring at me. All dark and shiny.
I can feel in his features... Liquefy. And reflect the light.

Puddles. Filthy dark puddles of light. Hard and cold.

My hand moves to his face, scrutinizes.
And I can see the cracks.
Reflected.

I am going to puke.

I will bang my hands on your face. Tiny hammers on old cold steel.
I can see, reflected on his face, my cracks.
Nothing.
I will bang my hammers.
I don't want to die...

I WILL SMASH THIS FUCKING FACE. into a puddle.

Is he gone?
Huh. Is he.
I'm inside.
I tape another layer on.
I am very strong, today.
