fffff
A fragile and barely audible Fidel Castro appears on TV.
ffff
I’m cold. It’s called fear.
hhhhhh
Fidel Castro just appeared on National TV as if coming out of a grave, like a nightmare, made of human debris with no light.
ffff
The physical presence of Fidel Castro reminds us that we live in a decrepit country. His ghost insists.
