yesterday, my mobile phone’s batteries ran low, and a warning message popped up. i dismissed it, and proceeded as usual. called, sent messages, played solitaire. hey, nothing’s changed; it still works fine! after several minutes, though, a second warning came up, this time telling me it’s turning off wireless functions (bluetooth and wifi) because there’s not enough power to keep them going. i still dismissed it, the window flashed just as bright as before, and i was able to continue my solitaire. silly phone, it works just fine. the third message said it’s turning off the phone functions, meaning it can’t receive or make calls anymore. but hey, the window is still bright and the games are still on! it’s still fine. isn’t it?

there wasn’t a fourth warning. after a few minutes, my phone went completely dead.

i’m tired. my batteries are running low. but i need to plod on. each morning, i will myself to get up and be functional for the rest of the day. but each night, i feel emptier than the night before. the cycle repeats. and repeats. and i can’t help wonder– for how much longer?
