Tom saw it all.

I present you a new shrink-adventure from the 6th floor.

Slowly he chewed on his pizza.

The delivery boy brought one with cheese instead of the ordered 4 seasons.
The longer I observed him the more I disliked it.

"Enjoy your meal", I said.

He nodded and kept chewing and swallowing and tearing pieces of it. I could swear he ate plastic.

I sat back in my chair at the table and drank my cup of tea.

"It was pink, like that pink elephant", he said.

I was happy to see he emptied his mouth before he spoke.

" Really? You recognize a colour if you hear that sound?"

"It's all in my head", he said and tapped with his finger on it. "I know her."

"After all these years it would surprise me if you didn't."

"She was the one with the baby pool. We all envied her till she died, drowned in her own pool."

He took his last piece of pizza as I poured some extra tea.

"I found you a place to stay."

I shove a key plus note over to him. He studied it before he took it and put it into his pocket.

"It wasn't because of me. The metal butterflies did it. As one they flew straight into her eyes."

How about giving it a try yourself?
With my lousy, unstable connection it is the only app that still works most of the times.
Try it. There is nothing to lose
