I step on the bus that is pedaled by D. I sit shotgun and look around. I wonder how he can manage such a heavy load by pedaling. The bus is filled with friends and people from my village. I see AMG and talk to her. I also ask D. what he is doing this summer. He says he is cooking good food and lists several other activities that require little or no energy, but are instead purely meant as pleasure. Now the bus passes the road to our house and I realize he is going to take a longer route, going to some houses that are in completely different part of the village.

Now we arrive at his house and he runs off and into the house. Thick grey smoke is billowing out through the frontdoor as he opens it and I can see people in there. They look worried, as if they do not want me or any other of the passengers to see what is happening. I ask what is happening but the faces quickly dissappear back into the smoke. D. comes back outside and tries to enter the house a different way, even if he just entered it through the main entrance. He does not answer any questions. It is twilight and no questions were answered.

While awake...

You Ain't Got A Hold On Me
- Mark Kozelek

I'm telling my friends about my trip to B. They seem to think that is a very cool destination, and I become increasingly encouraged by this. Since they think it is an exotic and different place I also begin to see it that way.

I am now lying on my bed in my childhood bedroom. I am watching TV together with someone. It is night and dark outside. Now I see A. walk by the window. He is coming to see me. I am glad I did not go to sleep yet.

Now I am getting more visitors. I see AM's brother and sister. They seem genuinely happy to see me and I can see that one of them (S) is holding a bouquet of flowers (for me?) I am both baffled and thrown off by this sudden visit - why are they here? I certainly don't mind but it is strange, since I never have anything to do with them, and now they all of a sudden have this wish to be near me.
They sit near my bed while I sit up. It is still night but our faces are lit up by indoor light and everyone are smiling.

I see D. and ask him if he can help me with a math problem. He doesn't even look up as he says sure.
