Paperhead

We live in an age that makes you think, rather than feel. The stream of information becomes unsorted trash. We spend so much time and energy trying to find the truth, or rather to distinguish the truth from lies.

The narrative focuses on a character who has lost the touch with reality, space and time. The longing to feel the signs and the taste of life makes one wonder how much a human being needs another human being and could it be that the mind keeps projecting a reality that does not in fact exist. We ran so fast without ever looking up that we stumbled and lost each other. “I don't think... I don't think I’ll ever see you again...”
