I lower my head and on my table there is a bright red liquid spread but dry.
How long had this task been there?
I feel like I've woken up
A sort of black hole in my memories.
I know it, I'm sure of it, a feeling of déjà vu.
But everyone else refuses to confirm it to me.
The chairs are still there.
The table too.
Dried stains.
The black handkerchief in front of me.
Nothing has changed.
And yet…
Something doesn't add up.
I look at my hands.
They are clean.
Not a trace.
Not a single cut.
Not even a pain.
I slowly raise my head, run my hands through my hair, nothing.
I turn around and jump up, no reaction. I scan the entire room until I return to my table.
– hey ?.... Ray
Silence
He doesn't move
Like being stuck in the same position.
Head down.
Hands clasped.
Immobile.
a statue.
I approach step by step and listen intently.
No breathing sounds.
– Ray… I murmured.
My voice sounds strange.
Making egos that you and come back
It was as if the room was too big.
Or too empty.
Silence
I look around me.
The other players are here.
Sat.
The room is full, even though no one is moving.
I take a step.
Then another one.
But the sound of my footsteps always reaches me with a slight delay.
I speak :
– Hey!
My voice is coming back to me…
with a delay.
Like a poorly synchronized echo.
I walk faster.
The tables seem longer
The distances no longer match.
I take too long to leave my table
I rush towards any other player and place my hand on him.
It is lukewarm.
alive.
I remove it immediately.
"Why are you standing there like a statue…" I murmured, waiting for an answer.
But I don't really believe it.
I back away and slide across the floor, sitting down on the bare ground, leaning against the chair of this unknown player.
Looking… Just
These players have smooth faces.
"What are you playing at?" I said.
I shake my head.
– boycott….?
– hein? .
I'm backing away again.
I'm bumping into my chair.
A black handkerchief falls in front of me.
I raise my head.
"Did you throw it away?" I whispered.
Silence.
I exhale and rest my head on my knees.
- I'm bored .
I close my eyes.
And tap your finger

I raise my head
– For 5 minutes, I remained perfectly still, nothing at all. What are the rules? I asked.
Eco, a long Eco repeating my sentences
– the rules
– the rules
– the rules
– the rules
– the rules
– the rules

I roll up my sleeve,
"Where's my watch?" I said in a panic.
I get up and look around me, in my pockets, my coat, nothing
– MY WATCH
– MY WATCH
– MY WATCH
– my watch
– my watch
– my watch
– my watch
I found nothing, so I turned to the others and searched their pockets, wrists, and overcoats.
Empty statuses, useless addition
He collapsed to the ground, arms and legs spread wide.
