I had to live in one of those hotels for almost two weeks. I ended up going to a hardware store for a bottle of yellow HEET and a soda can to make an alcohol stove. I carefully situated it on top of the sink drain and balanced my camp cup on two crossed coat hangers above it. I made soup. That was what it took to make fucking soup.

No, not from out of the country, I live here. I was homeless, and needed to make some fucking soup in the only place I could stay.

Did your room not have a microwave?

It had a bed and a bathroom, and nothing else. It didn't even have a TV.
