It's amazing that even with all the training I've had, all the things I've learned, I still know so very little.
White has given me a mobile phone so that he can always get in touch with me. I know all it's functions and it's the only phone I need.
Still my apartment has a stationary phone. I've never used it, but since White told me I need it to establish contact and relations to the Outside, I don't worry about it.
This morning this phone rang. I picked it up. Some lady, on the other end of the line, was asking to speak with the man of the house?
"I am he" I replied.
"Oh... Have you ever thought about trying our newspaper; Information?"
"Information? Why?"
I could hear her hesitate "Because we give you a different view of the world"
"Oh do you have special information in this... newspaper? Something I need?"
"Yes! We bring you the naked truth" she sounded like she was back on track.
Is the truth naked? Or Normally dressed? She confused me.
"I need information on where I can find GRAE" I told her.
"Yes" she replied.
Amazing, a paper that knew his whereabouts!
"Well, we have had an article on the gay community in Denmark"
"Gay?"
"Well... you know, the homosexual part of Danish society"
"H...homosexual?" It began to dawn on me, that she and I were talking about different things.
"Homosexual. When a person is attracted to his or her own sex. Look, you brought it up" She was angry with me now. She seemed embarrassed.
"No, I asked if you knew where GRAE is. G. R. A. E"
"Look, I don't know what a grae is. Perhaps you do not need our newspaper. Goodbye"
Why would a complete stranger call me to offer me something?
