Around and around we go

I enter the small room and find myself in the presence of a mountain of files covered in a thick film of dust. There's no one else in the room.

I am not entirely certain about the date shown on the calendar but I can rest assured June 21 will be quite an accurate approximation. Even though it has only been a couple of months since my birthday, which according to the citizenship I hold is an event to be celebrated in the month of August, I still stand by my estimate. The month of June feels long, probably because it has the longest day of the year, June 2, but in this country, that title is shared by every other date on the calendar when one visits the premises of a government office.
