Like a corpse in a detective novel

"I did not want to tell the rapporteur this, but due to the urgency of sleep, and under the pressure of his skeptical look, I told him: - One scene remains in my memory. The last image is close and completely clear... I am at home, sitting in front of the television, watching a documentary program about a small red protruding ball. . He did not know whether he would die or live.. I was part of the scene, sitting in the camera's bowels, devouring food greedily and crying with the burning of cities that knew my steps, as they emptied their dead into containers into mass graves... Loudspeaker: "The globe is infested, hundreds of thousands of Corona's dead are on the way to the center, coming from 172 countries... There is no safe place left on Earth."
