    Days become shorter and shorter as he is playing with his last remaining tooth.
    “If you don’t stop playing with that tooth of yours, it might come off and you wont have any left.”
    The angelic looking nurse says to the old man while putting a new bag on his stoma.

    He thinks that he will die sooner because of boredom than because of old age or an illness.

    She stated the obvious so like always the old man ignores her completely.
    If he would start saying something back they would use it against him.

    Memories of his childhood fade away.
    And each day seem to be the same like the one before.
    He doesnt blame it on the daily routine in this retirement home.

    He believes that all the junk left from things created by civilization is put in the pudding.
    And the old people in these homes are like human waste disposers.
    Gallons of pudding are consumed until the old man dies.
    Right after he is gone another one comes to take his place.

    What else would keep those poor nurses busy?
