Hospital memories

Two hospital memories, and I was the patient in both cases. 

First would be in France, 1944. I was in the segment where there’s a window and I was unconscious, most likely asleep and not a coma. I was at the recovery stage, as I didn’t seem to have the need to cover up the surgical scars anymore, just that I was hospitalised for a longer time because I was in a coma previously. What caught my attention was the surgical scars on my stomach, on at least 3 parts. I know that one of them was from when I was 18 and that particular scar was the most faint, and the other was the most recent where bullets had to be taken out and all so that particular area looked rather messy. It seems like the third one was in between so I guess I apparently had another surgery between 1937 and 1944. 

On a side note, ‘Non, je ne regrette rien’ was playing. 



Second is the one in between but that I was talking about previously but the space was smaller and I wasn’t anywhere close to the windows. On the contrary, I was beside a wall. Not sure why I would need surgery this time round, which I knew for the other two cases. All I know is that my wife was around me this whole time as I recovered in bed.

Raise a glass

Raise a glass to a new memory from this morning! There are two parts to this memory. The first part was when I was fencing for the fun of it. Yep, I was taught the sport. Many aristocrats like me were supposed to learn it and I wanted to put my skills to the test by having someone really competent as my opponent. When my subconscious told me who my opponent was, I was actually a little surprised. You see, we didn’t know each other that well at the time. I was only 19 years old and we only started to interact more when I hit my 20s. The opponent was Reinhard, by the way. I decided to be aggressive throughout the game and use my aggression as a tactic. I would always use my brain more whenever I competed with someone. I thought that this would scare him and it did a little but he still won anyway. However, I came close to beating him so good enough, I guess. So basically, there were three rounds. I beat him in one of them while he beat me in the other two. In one of the two rounds, I...

Some more memories

I was in the first memory but it featured the Heydrich bros, Heinz and Reinhard, more. My subconscious mentioned that the two mostly talked about music and art. They're very cultured people. I could’ve joined in the conversation but I didn’t know what they were talking about. It was better for me to shut up rather than embarrassing myself. In the second memory, I was in a group on a stage and it was something like a string club. I was playing the cello and I was ready first so I was tuning it while the others stared at me for a while. I looked excited because I seemed new to the instrument. I was having a lot of fun. I probably swapped with my friend considering that the cello wasn’t my primary instrument. My primary instrument was the violin. In the third memory, I was at my friend’s place and I was drinking cold water from a jug-looking water bottle straight from the fridge. I was a messy drinker, a lot of water spilled while I was drinking. Oops? Judging from his house, he w...

I hate sand **updated**

No seriously, I don’t like sand. It’s coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere. Yes, I just quoted Anakin Skywalker. But back to the point, let me talk about my memory. I was at the beach with my colleagues. I could identify the two of them, August and Reinhard. There was another guy with us but I can’t identify him and he was somewhat far away. He happened to be distracted by the sand. He appeared like he was picking up seashells. I couldn’t walk properly on the sand which just always irritated me and trust me, it still does. I only walk on sand with incredibly covered shoes on. Back to the memory, I almost fell on Reinhard(who looked really annoyed) at one point and he told August to let me lean on him(as in August) so that I’ll stop stumbling. Ugh, my feet hurt. No, August wasn’t annoyed at all, unlike Reinhard. In fact, he was smiling throughout everything because he knew quite well just how much I hated sand but wanted me to ‘experience the joy’ when it’s torture fo...
