A Pendant With Two White Elephants
The sound of people whispering behind me woke me up. There was something covering half of my face. I started to panic. I sat straight on my seat and brought my hands to my mouth. After I realized I could take it off without resistance, I calmed down a little. I kept it on since I could breathe just fine with it. I looked around. I was on a train. The wagon was almost full. I wasn’t the only one wearing a mask; there were a few others. What was going on? I tried to remember, but there was nothing. I started to panic again. There was absolutely nothing. Nothing. Nothing about the mask. Nothing about the train. Nothing about who I was. I looked outside the window, but there were only indistinguishable fields. The grass was yellow. It looks like it didn’t rain for a while.
