Di phone dey anoda room and na here I dey, inside dis one, for di first time since evening start. I go do dis tin every night dis week. Di room come big di moment wey di phone comot, wey be strange tin to tok about room wey im size no change even small. Notin add. Sometin wey bin dey minus just stop.

My hand dey continue to enter my pocket come meet notin there. E dey happen less pass how e bin dey happen one hour ago. One conversation dey go wey notin don interrupt even once, and true true I don forget how dat kain tin dey sound from inside. Sentence dey reach im own end. Nobody here dey wait make I finish to look sometin else before dem go fit continue.

I don dey inside room di whole week without me really dey inside dem. Di pipo wey dey dose room notice am, even if nobody tok anytin about am, because dat kain tin no be wetin pipo dey tok wit mout. I bin dey tell mysef say I dey manage time well. Wetin I really dey do na to dey collect small small withdrawal from every good moment come spend am on top notin particular. Not even one of dose withdrawal feel like decision for dat time, and na exactly dat one make dem fit add up sotay e reach one whole week wey I no fit really account for.

Na distance be di only tin wey dey work. Di power wey person get to tell imsef no dey lose to one small mashine wey thousands of very sharp pipo build specifically to beat dat power, and to lose dat fight no be say person character bad, na di answer wey person suppose expect wen di match no balance from di start. So I stop to dey try win am and I change di terms instead. Environment dey beat intention every single time. Di real good news wey hide inside dat one na say I no need to turn to person wey get better discipline. Na to waka go di next room I need.

So e go enter anoda room, and I go drop am before I sidon, because to do am afta na decision wey I don already sabi say I no go make. Na di order be di whole trick. Once I don sidon dey comfortable, di phone go near pass di next room, and for dat point di evening don already decide imsef.

I dey here. True true I dey here. Di evening come long.
