Nicole, however, watches over me like a German shepherd. Not that I suspect her of collaborating with those who want my old body in their bed and on their drip. No, she’s not like that: her mistrust of those legal drug dealers seems almost as great as my own. But when it comes down to it, she will reach for the telephone, call the ambulance and, sighing deeply and whispering that there’s no alternative, finally deliver my body up to chemical torment. For the moment she’s popped out to do some shopping and freedom beckons, something beckons, something tells me I must go out now. Unaccompanied for the first time, I walk down the street to Quinten Matsijs Lei, catching my breath on Loos Plaats, on one of the cold white blocks that can’t decide whether they’re art or street furniture and which vaguely resemble a wolf’s hook. There is a flame burning in one of my hips that flares up at the slightest exertion, a pilot light fuelled by the fear of falling again and becoming permanently crippled.
