On a tropical plantation, an unnamed, unseen narrator watches his wife and a neighbour with obsessive precision, describing furniture, shadows and a squashed insect over and over, and never once says the word jealousy.
a blackish spot marks the place where a centipede was squashed last week, at the beginning of the month, perhaps the month before, or later.
The blurb, the gist, the why of the day and the work itself are in the app. The first button needs it on this device; the second gets it there.
