Strange darkness

The woman who was driving her rollator around with a T-shaped chocolate letter she had received from Sinterklaas sighed every few minutes, expressing that she couldn’t take it anymore and was so tired. I let her sit and showed her some drawings, but she didn’t know what to do with them. Her eyes seemed to be set deeper in her head than I normally see in people, as if they had detached from their pure recording of the surroundings. I made a drawing of her, and she was okay with it. It seemed as if she was trapped in a network of black wiring, a darkness strange to me. Maybe I’ll make some more drawings about it later.
