random fragments of your life are scattered around the floor of your conciousness as you shuffle from one thought to the other they become less coherent your past becomes indiscernible from dreams and nightmares nightmares that soon envelop your days so your days become indistinguishable from nights now life as you had envisioned it is forgotten only basic survival routines exist your movements no longer have any real purpose other than to sustain in an unpremeditated manner the dreams and nightmares
