First day outside...
Trains are an odd invention. Odd, but convenient. They take you from point A to point B rather quickly. Much easier than if I had had to walk all the way. I'm not allowed to drive, but if I call my contact, he'll drive me to where I want.
But, back to trains.
The reason I find them odd, is in the sense that people sit or stand closely together, and yet they're able to ignore each other perfectly. I suspect they're unable to smell each other, to feel each other so strongly. Whereas I today felt like screaming, because the man sitting opposite me accidentally brushed his knee against mine. I can still feel the tingling sensation on my skin.
It's so late now, I waited at the station for several hours, not being able to force myself to walk down the stairs to the platform and get on the train. So many people! All pressed tightly against each other, all wanting to get on the train first, impatient and rough.
I can't stand all the smells! Women and their strange artificial smells, sweaty men, old people smelling of decay, and weird men smelling horribly and dressed in clothes so dirty and old that I can smell ten other people in it's stench.
Do people really live with all this touching and all these horrible smells??
I can't stand it! I feel ill when outside. I've bought a scarf to wrap across my nose and mouth. It protects me a bit against the smells, but not enough. Tomorrow I'm going to go use my credit card and buy some synthetic scent to spray into the scarf. I think it will protect me against the filthy air even better then.
I want to find G.R.A.E. quickly, I hate it out here... I want to go home. I want to get back Inside.
