CLOSE WINDOW

 from Cuba

5.

Today the water is freezing cold. It makes the bumps on my skin
stand up. I can’t turn it off. It is freezing cold and I can’t turn it off. I
am afraid I am going to freeze to death. I am afraid I am going to die.

And then it stops. And there is no more water. And there is no more
water for many days to come.

Perth is the rune of mystery.
