I still woke up hungry in the morning, and watch out, if I didn’t get a cup of coffee. It was like we were straddling some invisible fence between immortality and human frailty. “Seriously, are we dead or not? I asked again when I still received no response. I got several yes’s and no’s at the same time confirming my own belief. Somehow, we were neither.
