It is a record of her journey into herself chronicling the destruction of thoughts, emotions and associations. It is a desperate attempt to find a remedy for All-The-Hurt, a peek into the world of a Nameless Woman. Woman, 35, with a degree, sufficiently well off. Husband and child, conceived in love. Sex. Nationality. Race. Religion. 35, with a degree, sufficiently well off. Woman. Husband. Child. Conceived in love. 35. Sufficiently well off. I open the window. Millions of red lights going through my mind. Sex. Nationality. Race. Everything’s right. I breathe. It’s misty, it’s dark and it seems I’ve had someone buried here. I close the window. 35. With a degree. Sufficiently well off. Woman. I would go, fall on my knees, I would beg. I open the window, close the window, open, close.
