Proof

Breakfast

Shortly after breakfast I fell ill. The feeling that something was rotten in my body started already before breakfast, but the definite proof came shortly after my first meal of the day.
Back in Afghanistan I met a man, a Dutch soldier, who had named himself Uncle Fester. He claimed that he could throw up like the exorcist. Whenever I fall ill I think of this Uncle Fester.
