May 16, 2024
I finished paying off my credit card today. It’s fitting that it’s the 16. That date has been important recently. I left Melbourne on the 16 and I moved into this place on the 16th.
I’ve got to save for a plane ticket back home. I’ve also gotta see if I can stay in Argentina with dad for a bit.
Mark and I went to his wood working class yesterday. He’s building some sort of a wooden puzzle. He seems to know what it should look like. I’m just helping him measure but he’s doing all of the cutting. It’s quite funny seeing a blind man using a saw and hammering nails.
After that we went to the acting class. Jane couldn’t go with us. She had something else booked for that day.
We spent nearly the entire time just talking. It was quite boring. We finally did some acting games during the last 30 minutes.
The empire of the sun was growing up so quickly. I was honoured to have been invited to study their children.
I arrived in the middle of night. I came by plane. I went to my hotel and got into bed. I was just falling asleep when a hideous ghost floated towards me.
“Who were you?!” I screamed, my brow beating with beads of sweat.
“I used to work in the mines,” said the ghost. His voice sounded like it had reverb. It seemed to bounce around the room and echo. “I saved my money. I empowered my family!”
“Oh, well good for you,” I said.
The ghost drifted backwards. He slowly faded away.
