The pain +medication made him loopy. He couldn't think as well as he was used to, which +wasn't well to begin with. Even saying his thoughts out loud, it was as +though they were on the TV in the next room. Someone was cheering. They had +just won a car. + +His mother came in with lunch on a tray. It was hot tomato soup and a grilled +cheese sandwich. "What have you been doing all day" she asked "you haven't +just been staring at the wall have you?" He had been staring at the wall most +of the day. The wall without the window on it, with the woodgrain wallpaper. +"No" he said. "What have you been doing then" she asked setting the tray down +on his lap. He sat up and almost upset it, but she caught it before it +spilled anything. "Composing in my head" he lied.
