Five minutes that'll wreck your entire sleep schedule and emotional stability.
Ten months into the pandemic, day is for sleeping and night is for wandering alone and aimless on the east side of Los Angeles. A young man reminisces about the loss of a great love, his tidal thoughts spilling out like water. A spare, meditative study on the unending isolation of Covid19.
