After

So what has happened after I got out. I was released third of July 2026. I was alone in the prison. Yeah, I had some buddies. You cannot call them friends. Buddies. Even the buddies is too much.

Hotel room

Now I'm sitting here in a hotel room. I'm still alone. I still have so-called buddies, because here in Bulgaria it's hard to find yourself a guy who you can call a friend. Friend is a very hard word here, you know. It's hard, because the people here, they take you like a money bag. Money bag. The vampires. The parasites. They don't see you, or any kind of qualities, like the French have, you know.

Home

So he's still alone. And I still haven't reached my family in Estonia. At my home, you know. I'm fighting every day to survive, and I'm trying to get myself home. So the book is writing a long way home under addiction.

I'm fighting every day to survive, and I'm trying to get myself home.
