And more than anything, there is a grim realization that I've spent six months waiting for nothing to happen. That in the end, after all the hurrying and forms and waiting and sacrifices, it amounts to a denial by a man behind a desk who could care less whether I have a job or not.
It doesn't help that it's dark now, all the time. Dark, dark, dark. And now where can I go?
