Pongo #63
Pila I asked to be moved, because the dreams persist, but nobody has come to do the job, so I presume nobody will. When she's asleep, it's very easy to pity this husk, all couture nightgown draped over bones and white fibres, the bulge in her abdomen practically pulsing as it sucks the life from her. I realise the outside world has no comprehension of this. They think their radiant pin-up is sitting bravely in a hospital bed, breasts buoyant above the covers, doe eyes wincing bravely with pain every time the wound wakes. It's a comforting fantasy.

Pila I wake up again, and once more turn to face my neighbour's bed, only now the frail old woman is gone. In her place, a beautiful girl lies, flat-backed in soldier position on the sheets. Her hair is chocolate and the light dances on it. Her large, lidded eyes do not even flicker with dreams, she is so still. Above her head a canopy of glass, presumably some sort of incubation chamber or quarantine measure, seals her off from the outside world, while leaving her open like common land ' a scrap of green in the city to which everyone runs for picnics, exhibitions, firework displays.
