SOUL CRUMBLES

Marte lies in bed.

It’s one of those days when chronic pain reaches its peaks, No painkiller seems to be working and Simon remains silent beside them.

Simon looks at the many crumbles boxes on the digital floor.

-How do you feel?  Simon asks Marte

-Broken. Marte murmurs, wheezing.

-Do you want me to call the doctor, Simon replies, I’ll look for the nearest medical center…

-Simon please, Marte whisper, I don’t need you in research mode. We both know my illness has no cure. I just need to be patient. Help me to have patience would you?

Nodding Simon returns near Marte

-As you wish, Simon says, I’ll be by your side and help you be patient.

Near Marte, Simon gently picks up one of the crumbles box and begins decode Marte’s fragments memory:

“memories of a time Without pain”
