Sonder

N.B. The numbers above the stories are flat numbers. It's supposed to be an apartment building.


Sonder (n) The realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own.

I don’t know about everyone else but I often catch myself walking past houses and thinking “Holy shit, this building is filled with people who are just as alive as me.

Loooove the thought, but if you knew my mother, you would know that buying clothing for her 29-year-old, loser, waste of space, still liv...

There are a metal frame bed and a chair in the room. A woman is sitting on the chair staring at one of the walls. Close up of the woman’s face. We can see a reflection of lights in her pale face and pictures changing in her unblinking dark green eyes. Loud sounds of people arguing, crying, and swearing fill the room. Suddenly a door closes. The woman doesn’t react and continues staring at the wall. Wide shot of the other side of the room, a tall and slim woman is standing in front of a closed white door without a handle.

Nurse: Mandatory 7 hours of unconsciousness are now over. It is now time for your first dose of stage two human emotion correction medication.- She has...
