Day 8

If there is hope, it lies in the Proles... If there is hope, it lies in the Proles... If there is hope, it lies in the poverty. The bomb... The bomb... The glass that fell upon me. The black smoke, the hand, what a common sight. The old man in the pub, the pub... I ask: is it better now than before? is it better now than before? What was the answer? So much alcohol, my money, my gin. Desperate I tell you, desperate. Desperate for history, a sign, a past... an answer. The antiques... history written all over it. The coral... the pink coral inside the curved arch of the glass ball, in the antique shop. the Coral. The antique, the history. This old man, no telescreen. No telescreen at all, too expensive? A farthing... The history of their people. "Oranges and lemons, say the bells of St. Clement's, You owe me three farthings... here comes a candle to light you to bed, Here comes a chopper to chop off your head."
