This loathsome place again! A world where people tear each other apart between fallen walls, the swarm of rats, wild cats, and the raucous buzzing of insects. A few naked and shaggy dock, and whose bodies suppurate profusely, wander in this delirium. They are fighting each other to possess an animal killed bygd its peers.

But can we call a day this creamy, greenish stain that ri
