A Day in the Life of a Patient

«Wake up!!!» Ishmukhamat pulls the blanket off me. I wait for him to leave and grab the cigarette butts hidden in the nightstand. I go to the bathroom, and Rauf is there.

«Rauf, got a smoke?»

«Get one from Ruslan!»

I go back and get a Prima from Ruslan.

I smoke quickly. I’ve had my fill. I give the unfinished cigarette to Dima. I’ve handed out all my butts.

I want to smoke. Half a cigarette in my pocket. We’ll see what comes of it.

What came of it: I smoked a quarter of a cigarette and two drags. Handed out the butts.

MP3 Players

MP3 players are a whole other story. Everyone wants to watch a movie. Music has become devalued. Almost everyone has a radio and music, but movies…

Morning

Today I saw Ilkhat hugging and kissing the new girl. He does this all the time. Well, okay, I’m going for a smoke.

Had a quiet smoke. Only forgot to pee.

Restlessness and psychosis again.

They shouldn’t have taken me home, I’ll go pee and take out the trash.

I’ll go have a smoke.
