They are silently hovering in mid-air all around us...waiting...waiting for their chance to be told. They infect human beings, live in them and slowly grow. The infected has to write the story so that it can spread around and infect more and more people. I'm afraid there's no prevention or vaccine... :)Kristína Pobjeckáhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09607041830627955449noreply@blogger.comBlogger27125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8154020313977741188.post-31023702475997866652014-11-07T20:44:00.002+01:002014-11-09T23:09:08.075+01:00Nice to meet you, I'm the crazy pigeonless lady <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">There are a couple of things I've found out
since I arrived in Regensburg. First of all, get rid of the stereotype that
Germans are punctual. Especially those I came across certainly aren't for I've
done quite a lot of waiting...just to wait some more...</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Secondly, are they really that well-organized?
Okay, to some extend yes. They are really into lists and info sheets. However,
I don't want to be too harsh on them and let's be honest, Bavaria is kinda
different from the rest of Germany. And that's what I like about it.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">There is space to express yourself and bring in
a bit of your own culture. As the mayor himself stressed: only when Regensburg
is <i>international</i> it functions properly. Apparently, we should rather
stay and keep it up!</span></div>

it's been 6 weeks since I left my hometown. Thinking back of the first days
really makes me laugh. It sometimes felt like: what the hell?! what am I...? I
don't even...No, I'm not Czech. Slovakia is not Slovenia. Yes, indeed we are a
member of the EU! Do I need to...? Who am I supposed to ask? etc. After finding
the way to the International Office and being told I'm staying in the same dorm
like last year I was doing my happy dance! After climbing four floors and finding
a huge and extremely messy pigeon party taking place on my balcony my smile
froze...Endless thanks to you, mum and dad, for your moral and technical support
and for being professional pigeon bouncers! Anyways, the pigeons are gone and
so far my anti-pigeon barrier works, so talk to my hand, dear feathered
friends.</span></div>

against pigeons I've been doing a lot of <i>walking</i>. It always helps me to
clear my min</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">d but also enjoy the environment I'm in, which I quite frankly often

preparing for us. </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> Meeting new people is another exciting part of
being away. Technically speaking "you could be anybody". They have no
idea about your past, about who you are. But I personally always end up being
myself (unable to put on a mask just to have a bigger "fan club" or
something) and I think that's the way it should be.</span></div>

interesting people met, many new words and expressions learnt, one marriage
proposal (repeated a few times) rejected, impressive places and sights visited,
fun nights spent outside, dozens of photos taken, lazy afternoons tucked in
bed, gratefulness for such an opportunity expressed...The train keeps rolling
and there is more to come :-)</span></div>

Are you hungry?<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the beginning of my summer holidays I spread my wings once again and flew into the world! Ok, not really...I got on a bus with a nervous driver and after a five-hour journey found myself in <b>Zagreb</b>! At the bus station my dear friend Nina (from my stay in Regensburg last summer) was waiting for me. It was so lovely to see her again after almost a year. I hope that next time I can be her host in Bratislava :) </div>

We had a lot of catching up to do, so we didn't lose any time! After
some rest at Nina's place we went to town. I have to say that Zagreb is
really groovy. I liked that it was so lively and noisy, some streets
were overcrowded with people trying to find a place to sit down and
enjoy a drink. <b>Warning:</b> Be careful in the streets when Croatians watch football! And try to avoid crowds cheering when they score (or somebody else scores for them, right? :)).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having a personal guide is surely a pleasant luxury. I got the chance to
see places not mentioned in guidebooks and learnt about the rich
history and culture of the city quite a few things. I noticed that
Zagreb is very neatly kept and well organized. We have to learn a lot
here in Bratislava, I thought. </div>

Another thing worth mentioning is <b>Slovak and Croatian</b>: languages very
similar thanks to their Slavic origin. I was always very proud of myself
when I could decipher what Nina and her family were talking about in
their native tongue. Although with some words you need to be really
careful (an innocent expression in Croatian for "drink" sounds
dangerously similar to a really bad swear word in Slovak...). </div>

Some of my friends were surprised I'm travelling to Croatia without
actually going to the sea. As a matter of fact, Slovaks kinda consider
the Adriatic Sea as their own for it's a favourite holiday destination.
But I dismissed their "what-for-expressions" and enjoyed my stay
thoroughly. Zagreb is definitely a must-see European capital city
because it has loads of historic buildings, charming views, colourful
parks, friendly people and bars open until late at night! ;-) </div>

Once again a huge<b> THANK YOU</b> to you, Nina and your lovely family. For accepting me among you so cordially and honestly. For being such a perfect host family. And making sure I was never hungry :-D. "Are you hungry?" was the most frequent question I was asked at Nina's place. Until next time! :-*</div>

some kids next to me started to play a song on the phone. After some time
in I recognized it: Vandaag Bakermat. It’s on the radio all the time these
days.</span>
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Kid one remarked: „I like the lyrics.
The DJ’s comments, you know…pretty cool.”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">“Yep, pretty cool,” Kid two echoed. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">My mouth almost dropped open. I
gulped hard. They don’t even…</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">“I have a dream!” Kid one shouted in
a pretended deep voice. Kid two began to laugh and added: “dream-dream-dream.”
They’re both nodding to the rhythm. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I felt like crying out to the world:
for God’s sake don’t ever forget! I couldn’t let it be.</span></span></div>

you?” I</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">said.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">At first they gave me weird looks
but eventually Kid two spoke up.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">“No, you dumbhead! That’s Martin
Solveig,” the other kid butted in. He looked at me for support of his
statement. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">

was an activist, a fighter for civil rights of African-American citizens.” </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">“Like that’s what the song’s about?”
Kid two asked.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">“No. That’s what Martin Luther King’s
live was about,” I replied getting impatient. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Kid one raised his eyebrows and then
nodded. “Yeah. That’s a cool hobby for a DJ to have.”</span></span></div>

escape from the unknowing.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Mrs Nuts came in dashing. “What</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">’s all the uproar?” she asked.</span></div>

Nuts glanced up probably both glowering at the neighbours and calling for help
from above. </span></div>

Mr Nuts paced nervously to and fro. “The audacity of these people…on a sunny
Saturday morning…unbelievable,” he grumbled under his breath. In the meantime,
Mrs Nuts cleaned the floor and the cupboard. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

his trousers and they both went on in their usual Saturday. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The clock
struck 13 o’clock when Mrs Nuts served tomato soup. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Smells delicious,”
Mr Nuts winked. The first spoon of the tomato soup was on its way to Mr Nuts’
mouth when a nasty <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">wrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
</i>sent its content flying about and soaking in Mr Nuts’ shirt and the
tablecloth. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

dropped the spoon into the soup plate, which resulted in an even bigger mess. “One.
Can’t even. Enjoy. One. Bloody. Meal.” Mr Nuts hissed through gritted teeth. He
shook with anger. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

please,” Mrs Nuts tried to hush him. Mr Nuts left the room shaking his head. It took Mrs
Nuts quite a while to make her husband sit at the lunch table again. He never
liked his food when he was angry. Mr and Mrs Nuts, fuming and sighing
respectively, ate in silence. While cleaning the table, Mrs Nuts looked at her
husband and with a hesitant voice said: “Edgar, I’d really like you to…”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

sweetheart, I know,” Mr Nuts butt in making his way to the living room.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Ehm, before
it’s too late, Edgar,” Mrs Nuts called after him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Sure.”</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

to enjoy a little peace in the afternoon either. He sat in his favourite
armchair with his eyes closed, thinking of the yummy cupcake he caught a
glimpse of when he was taking the milk out of the fridge in the morning. He
hoped dearly that Mrs Nuts wouldn’t mind if it disappeared suddenly. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“That would be the only good thing of this
day,”</i> he thought. Mr Nuts was halfway successfully sneaked into the kitchen
when he stopped in his tracks. “NOT AGAIN YOU BLOODY..!” It seemed that his
every move was accompanied by the drilling sound. Not even a cupcake could
help. “…why would you do it in one go, when you can systematically annoy others
multiple times…so that nobody’ll be deprived of the joy of a bit of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">wrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.</i>” Mr Nuts got
all red in the face.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The atmosphere
in the evening was very tense. Mrs Nuts wasn’t able to delight in watching the
274<sup>th</sup> episode of her favourite TV programme nor could she remind her
husband of his promise. Mr Nuts was just scowling and mumbling something about
the neighbours. His day had been ruined. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">All of a
sudden, he jumped up and froze. Then he looked desperately at Mrs Nuts and
quietly said: “I’m so sorry, darling,” and off he was. Mrs Nuts just kept
staring at the place he had just abandoned. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Mr Nuts
returned with a drill in his hand and a framed picture in the other. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

love, it’ll be just a second. I’m so sorry. I’ve almost forgotten.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Isn’t it too…”</span></div>

marked the cross. Brilliant!” Mr Nuts smiled to himself.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">…late?” Mrs
Nuts finally finished her question.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Mr Nuts’ tongue
stuck out, while he was concentrating on screwing on the right drill. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

And you can finally hang this thing up.” He continued to fumble with the drill.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Edgar, I don’t
think it’s appropriate to…” Mrs Nuts glanced at the clock. 21.16. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Well, it’s not like people would be already
in bed. At least I can finally hang the lovely picture up,”</i> she thought.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">...is an own world for
itself. It’s one of the most beautiful and magical periods of our lives (of
course there are many, many unfortunate children out there but that would take
a lot more time to cover…). </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">At that age you believe you can be
anybody even anything and do limitless things. Each child creates a unique
world with themselves as the main character. This world is very much based on
other influences such as parents and family and the words they speak, their
friends and everyday experiences (which can be easily turned into great
adventures) or what they see on TV and of course read in books. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">They work with all their senses and
gather various ingredients to bake a cake of childhood. On the one hand, they’re
like a sponge – absorbing everything around them. And on the other hand,
however, they’re very fragile and the least disturbing event, word, or image
can add a bitter flavour to their cake. It can lose its coherence and burst
like a bubble. Recreating it is hard work. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Sometimes, as it happens, a person
comes and eats their cake, leaving them standing unprepared on the threshold of
adulthood. Other times, they’re enjoying their cake too long, saving the last
bit, unwilling to accept that it should have already been eaten.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I think that children’s literature
is very important because it both shapes and entertains children. There’s space
for them to both get lost in the worlds behind the words, and to receive the
moral of the story in a nice subtly wrapped–up bundle. Therefore, authors of children’s
literature should choose their words carefully and wisely.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

by step I'm completing the trefoil of Benelux. Belgium - <i>check. </i>The
Netherlands - <i>check</i>. Luxembourg - <i>check. </i>Noticed the order? Yeah,
I know... Anyway, today I'd like to write about my trip to Luxembourg :). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Luxembourg
is really like a cute puppy - once you look at it, you can't take your eyes of
it. Being so small (city population of app 103,000; area 52 km<sup>2</sup>) a
city tour can be comfortably managed in one day. Unfortunately, Luxembourg
failed to win the weather gods' favour but I'm sure you have plenty of sunshine
at home so you'd better cease to hope for a sunny day. Simply said don't wait
for the rain to stop to get out. (A sunny day equals national holiday)</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">What I noticed immediately - Luxembourg
is literally soaked in history (its grounds were laid in the 10th century). However, it managed to infiltrate modernism
quite well, too. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">It</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">’s a bit of a polyjuice potion of
languages and ethnicities. </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">You come across French, German, English, and the domestic Luxembourgish.
Being the seat of important European Institutions there’s huge immigration from
all over Europe (and certainly from all over the world). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">If
you think you'll need two suitcases for your journey to Luxembourg - one for
clothes and stuff, and the other would be filled with money for your ultimate
survival I can assure you that it's really not that bad. We managed to find
good accommodation for a reasonable price (app 32 euros/night including
breakfast, if you need to know, hostels are even cheaper). Besides you can feel free to add at least one
star to your notion of what a hotel is going to look like (meaning 2 stars in
Luxembourg equal 3-4 in Slovakia...). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">On the other hand, you may consider
eating a bit of a luxury. Fortunately, everything is so close that you rarely
need to use public transport, so you can save here.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I
would say that people there are not well…wild party animals to put it as you
can hear your voice echo walking through town in the evening. But knowing which
bars are worth visiting you will find a lively and joyful atmosphere. And happy
hours.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">My journey started with quite a few butterflies in my stomach. Not only had I to travel on my own by plane, catch the right bus, find the train station in an unknown city and get on the right train but there was also one thing I could do absolutely nothing about. A thick, heavy, solid, and especially unnerving fog. Not just a fog. It was a <i>fog</i> fog. Don't take me wrong, I like the fog. But this was far over the top. If you still think I'm exaggerating, then imagine the Vienna airport (or basically any airport) - there is a gianourmous 109m high Control Tower. Now imagine it's not there...not that easy, right? I haven't seen even its tiniest light. There was an announcement that the flight to Krakow was cancelled due to <i>bad weather conditions</i>. So there I was trying to keep calm and carry on. As the misty veil hung for a few minutes in front of my window (I actually got a window seat, yay!), we were ascending when suddenly - bright blue sky, beautiful sun resting on the white duvet. And after sipping a very luxurious cola (the price rocketed sky-high) I felt much more at ease. Luckily, no more travel-trouble till the end. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">In the few days I'd got to spent with Deni, we managed to see a lot. The Hague (city tour, Madurodam - Miniature Park), Leiden (city tour, Uni buildings), Amsterdam (the whole old town on foot). The architecture, the canals, the colourful flowers, the well-kept environment, and not to forget about the clogs in every size, colour, and material you can imagine. I think that the photos will speak for themselves.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 150%;">She
forced a smile and was fiddling with a string of her hoodie. He’d find out soon
if she didn’t compose herself… After all, he was her best friend. She met his
expectant eyes. They made her speak up. </span></span></div>

I’m serious here, Megan.” He was always serious when he called her by her
proper first name. </span></span></div>

been dreaming about releasing my own book for what – ten years? And now imagine,
it lies right in front of me. I still can’t comprehend it. My thoughts are a
real tangible thing,” he looked at one of the few copies he got from the
publisher on his table. It was a look full of pride and contentment. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">

know, from all the people in this world…I…I only really care about what you

afraid of what you’d say. And also the other way around, it wouldn’t have any
value to me, even if it were a bestseller, if you’d think it’s not worth the
paper.” She’s never seen him so moved, so thrilled to the bits about something.
She gulped hard. </span></span></div>

could hear his heart shatter. She was biting her lip so hard by now that it was
almost bleeding. His nostrils widened, otherwise he kept a deadpan expression. </span></span></div>

he left. She covered her mouth with her hand and shut her eyes tight. She
wished he’d have rather yelled his lungs out at her. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Sometimes I find myself thinking I've caught a glimpse of you in the
crowd. It's your coat. Your way of doing your thick hair. Your scarf
flattering in the breeze. Could it be...? I'm about to shout your name.
Call out. Hey, notice me. I'm here. Then it hits me. You're not here
with me. It can't possibly be you. I'm left here. I'm here denisaless. But a piece of me is there with you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I know it's difficult to leave. To go away, abroad, change the environment for something completely unknow and unfamiliar. It's a brave step, forward to your future. Both requiring sacrafices and causing a lot of unease to say the least. However, the bright side of it surely must overdo these terrifying implications - left alone, only dependant on your own capabilities, failing and succeeding, every day a new challenge. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Now, I don't want to diminish all that...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">At home, seeing well-known faces, surrounded by familiarity, security. All the same. But yet different. Feeling like an allien? A stranger at home? Yes, because you're not here with me. Everything seems distant. It is said that only when we lose something we realise the true value of it in our lives. For one thing I believe I haven't lost you :). You're just temporarily unavailable for real-life hugs (thanks for the virtual ones!), right? And secondly, I hope I have appreciated you when we were together. I honestly count myself to the lucky ones knowing you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I love you - that's probably all I want to say and I want you to be sure of.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I'll be waiting :)</span><br />

Mystery that wants to be explored and revealed. I still think that somebody
might have misspelled mystery with a “y”. Somehow it makes you wonder if you
really recall the things as they are. Familiarity is a tricky thing. You can
never be too sure. Then the fog lifts and it’s exactly what you thought, right?
Well, kinda. Almost. More or less, you know… </span></span></div>

somebody in their right mind do something like that? It’s just…arrrgh. I admit,
however, that it’s acceptable under ONE CONDITION! If having to look at the
person’s bare feet would be an even bigger sore for the eyes. Then yes, I’d rather
he wore socks in sandals (just hide them away for everybody’s sake). But otherwise
NO! A big, fat, bold, firm, enormous, dyed-in-the-wool “NO” to all socks + sandal

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">There
are days you think, “Hey, I’ve done pretty well” and then there are others
which…you know, just suck and the only reasonable thing to do seems to be a *headdesk*.
Everybody has gone through it. Some fail but well, there are people with a
degree or diploma or whatever. So probably it will be fine. Hopefully. Right? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Encouraged
by a successful day – one which you can confidently pat yourself on the back about–
you come to think, mistakenly, that from that point on every day will be like that
one… just so you know, it won’t be. The time and energy you’ve saved and the
progress you’ve made will be wasted so quickly that you barely notice it
disappearing. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">

on the next day – after your successful one – you will be able to keep up with
the pace. But then >>>BOOM<<<. You sit. You stare – yeah,
staring is by far my favourite. You drink. You eat. You stretch. You cry. You stare
some more. You burn your book (or are dangerously close to doing so). You examine
a plain white wall. You watch other people. You study your nails. You dream
about a good lunch. You dully look down at a page full of some random letters. You
doodle. You stare for a change. You wander around. You bury your face in your
hands. You feel like every time you read a new sentence it sucks out a piece of
information you’ve already learned. And at the peak of your despair the famous
headdesk comes. You slowly arrive at the stage where you accept your failure to
study even one more sentence. No. Just no. Not going to happen today. And you
know what? It’s better to accept it than to fight it because otherwise you just
grow even more frustrated with yourself and that would make your
counterproductive day even worse. Then you couldn’t go on. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">So
don’t punish yourself. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Everyone deserves a break
(not a long one, though). Take it easy. Relax. Don’t stress. But… be sure not
to mess up one of the most important exams you need for your degree. But again –
no pressure! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

let me express my deepest admiration of You and Your work. What You did on
Christmas Eve was really <s>nice</s> impressive to say the least. You were the
centre of <s>my</s> everybody’s attention without a doubt. I dare say it was a
phenomenon never seen before by the human eye. It was a period of pure delight,
tenderness, calmness, bliss, and overall prosperity just because You reached to
the bottom of Your power and enabled us to be a part of Your splendorous realm.

however, allow me to demonstrate to You the mood about Your extended stay
nowadays. As we all know the colourful jolly fellow, <s>Spring</s> who shall
not be named here, of course, is on his way and we’ve been <s>looking forw</s> expecting
him already. Although, somehow he isn’t around just yet and we are kind of
worried he might have lost his way to us. Well, I know it’s none of Your
business but <s>have you kidnapped him and locked up in a dark cellar?!</s> I’ve
been wondering if You don’t just by any chance happen to know something about
this delicate matter? Anyway, white Easter was Your very own idea or has

what breaks the spell?” he sized up the puzzled audience. “Help.” The simple
word echoed in the spacious lecture room gradually acquiring a deeper meaning. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "High Tower Text","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"> Some people gasped, some
shook their heads, some scowled or audibly expressed their disapproval. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

no doubt about it,” he smirked and continued as if nothing ever happened.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

being invisible: when you check your e-mail and you see you’ve got a new
message. That brightens you up a little, although it’s spam you secretly hope
it’s just a misplaced e-mail from a real person so you click on the icon only
to find out it’s the newest Viagra 30% off offer from Canadian Pharmacy. I
mean, why not, right? But not today, thank you very much for your concern.” He took
a deep breath. </span></div>

should do something about it… be more active or something – but why if you feel
it would be a step too far taken? We don’t want to be the annoying poor fellow
begging for other’s attention, do we?</span></div>

That at night even your own shadow lets you down and disappears into nowhere…”</span></div>

paced the podium and made a halt at the window. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

assured us that “You Are Not Alone”. Well, sorry bro but there are moments when
you can’t help it and feel completely abandoned. Like an old deteriorating
building nobody gives a damn about.”</span></div>

atmosphere in the lecture room was very tense. Some students have even left
thinking he must have gone mad or something… After all he was in general very
popular among students and his colleagues. This was a one of a kind lecture. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

hard core invisibility is?” he looked around at the gobsmacked audience. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

expecting an answer?” was a frequent question that passed the students’ minds.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

smiled. “It’s not that easy to perform though but yes, you can be invisible in
the utter proximity of other human beings.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

shook their heads in disbelieve and argued among themselves.</span></div>

example: You are standing with friends for everybody to be clearly seen and
having a conversation. Then, however, comes the crucial point. You ask a
question…and they don’t answer! Not that they’d avoid answering it, they simply
ignore it completely. Or well, ignore you. And just like that, congratulations!
You. Are. Invisible.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

feeling he was talking specifically about himself. But why so? What was this
man going through? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

ladies and gentlemen, where does the problem lie? Is your voice too weak?
Surely not. They’ve heard you just right. You even made eye contact. Maybe it
didn’t come across clearly? Hmm you have asked and re-formulated it at least 3
times before you’ve given up so I’d say no again… </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

you but honestly I don’t have an answer whatsoever. This is one of the most
complex areas of my research to which increased attention is paid.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

like to add that if the case of being invisible really does occur use it for
your own benefit. I mean, why not right? And just to be clear I didn’t mean to
be offensive towards anybody. I just wanted those of you who have experienced
invisibility to know that your fight isn’t lost yet. Keep on going and you will
be seen distinctly. And to those of you who enable others to be invisible…just
don’t, ok?” The lecturer summed up glancing one last time at the whole
audience. Some seats were already empty, some students had their stuff packed,
some were texting or chatting face-to-face. He noticed also those who were
paying attention from the start to the very end. This warmed the cockles of his
heart. </span></div>

day,” he disappeared leaving them somewhat lost in their own minds. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">I was
waiting for my best friend, Clare, to arrive. The table was set, the dinner
ready and smelling good, the music was on, the film had been picked, and the
only thing missing was the person responsible for all the fuss… We haven’t seen
each other in a while, so this was meant to be a huge catching up night.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">Finally,
after some more minutes had passed there was a knock on the door. I opened it
with a dramatic swing and once we saw each other we started squeaking like
little girls, embraced and then burst out laughing at our silly behaviour.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">She wore a
creamy blazer, a red top, and a pair of blue jeans with causal trainers. Her handbag
dangled from her arm, her phone was in her hand. Clare’s dark hair fell loosely
to her shoulders, her brown eyes were gleaming and a wide smile sat on her
face. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">“Hi!” she
sighed realising, just as I did, that too much time had passed since we last
saw each other. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">“Come in,” I
invited her, holding the door open. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">“So good to
see you!” she said when I took her blazer to put it on a hanger. She put her
phone in her pocket, took off the trainers, left her handbag in the small hall,
and followed me to the kitchen. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">“How’s the weather?”
I asked while stirring the soup. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">“Oh, wait.
I’ll look it up,” Clare answered and reached into her pocket to retrieve her
phone. I tittered and shook my head in disbelieve when I saw she was serious.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">“You’ve
just been there…” I remarked. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">“Ehm, yeah,
right,” she waved her hand. “It got cooler.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">“Well, fine…”
I turned back to the oven and poured the soup into the plates. I placed them on
the table and barked: “Dinner’s served, bitches!” But her eyes were fixed on
the phone screen and she missed the whole point of it…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">“What was
it?” she looked up.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">“Oh,
nothing. Let’s eat,” I forced a smile. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">Dinner went fine, we reminisced about old memories
and updated on recent news. Every now and then though her phone beeped quietly
and she would say it’s her boyfriend writing. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">“Why don’t you
call him?” I suggested.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">“Oh, no, it’s
not necessary… we are just chatting, you know.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">‘Well,
fine. Sorry for interrupting, ‘ I wanted to snap. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">I really
grew more and more annoyed by these nasty little things. Everyone seems to be
captivated by them. So dependent on them. But what is it about them anyway? Well,
you can be chatting while you’re shitting, now that’s what I call advanced
technology! I just don’t get it. I don’t know. Am I too old for this? I ask
myself despite being a part of the ‘young fast-living generation’. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">We were
talking face to face, but somehow she wasn’t there with me, didn’t pick up the
right tones, the gags…Neither conversation she was having in this form or
another was being efficient or worthwhile. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">She was on
her phone again. It was like her fingers were glued to it and her eyes attached
with invisible strings. I tried to ignore it. I asked her a question. Silence fell. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">“Ehm,
sorry? she lifted her eyes and lowered the phone to her lap.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">“Are you
even listening?” I shook my head. “Or you know what? Don’t bother.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">“Hey, what’s
up? Of course I’m listening, I just misheard the question. That’s all. You’re talking
about…your job,” she smiled, obviously pleased with herself that she could
manage everything. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">“Yeah,
whatever.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">Clare
scowled and put the phone aside. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">“Hey, what’s
wrong? You don’t have to make a scene just because I didn’t hear one question…This
can’t be seriously about a phone. It’s just…a phone.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">I sighed. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">“No. It’s not
<i>just</i> about a phone. It’s like it’s
become a new dimension you live in or something. As if the world would stop
turning if you don’t grab it the second it make a sound. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t
mind you texting whoever you like or making a call, but this,” I pointed at her
smartphone, ”is just too much.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">We were
both silent for a while, the meaning of my words sinking in. Clare stared into
the ground and bit her lip. When she spoke up I knew she meant it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">“You’re right.
I…I’m sorry,” she reached out and squeezed my hand. Just when the corners of my
lips began to curl into a smile Clare’s phone beeped again. My smile was
flushed away before it was even there. I stood up and took our empty dirty
plates to the kitchen sink. Then she came up to me holding her phone up in her
hand. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">“See, I switched
it off.” She pressed each button (there were only two) and tapped the screen to
prove it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">“Can we
start the evening all over?” she smiled blushing like an embarrassed school
girl. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">“No,” I
said my expression firm. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">Her
complexion turned from red to while, inside her heart sank. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">“The dinner
has been eaten,” I stated and shrugged matter-of-factly. “I’ve only popcorn
left.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">She looked
at me gobsmacked and I was unsure whether she’d hit me or hug me. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: large;">“Popcorn
would be perfect!” she said instead and we both laughed. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi there! Here is a <u>fun fact</u>: this is actually the first blog ever that I write on the computer (right on my blog) because so far every single story has been handwritten with a fountain pen in a notebook. I much prefer the old - fashioned style, you know. Although, every time I end up typing it on the computer of course... </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But today I'd like to write about something else, something that happened to me a couple of days ago. As the title says I had a nightmare the other night. Probably the most terrifying one I've ever had. I think that what made it so horrifying and scary was the fact that it may actually happen and be true. The nightmare that I suffered from could one day become my reality. I don't know whether my subconscious mind wanted to warn me or make me aware of something, of the direction I'm heading... hoping the impression it leaves will be strong enough to avoid the dreadful scenario. Because now I still have everything under control (I think at least) but step by step without even noticing everything can go wrong and I find myself having first - hand experience of my nightmare. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've had a plenty of nasty dreams which I considered to be nightmares such as a mad man chasing me round my grandma's court (the surrounding was very realistic) with a knife (1:0 for the man just in case you're wondering), or being shot in the chest, or having hideous spiders, bugs and other vermin crawling all over me, and so on.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">However, in the course of time my fears began to change. I understood that there are far worse things than the crap film makers stage to scare the shit out of us in horrors...ghosts flying about, zombies infecting the human race, or intergalactic monsters invading the planet Earth. Actually things that influence your mind hit you far worse than any physical pain. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Back to my nightmare tough - it started kind of abruptly, in medias res-like, the environment resembled the railway station near where I live (but it wasn't important), and I was a few steps behind my sister, who always walks fast so that I have trouble to keep up with her. I was desperate, really hopeless. Most likely because deep inside I already felt it was lost and nothing could be done about it - about her feelings towards me. The scene was like my last-ditch attempt to prove the opposite. But as I've said I knew the answer before I heard it. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So we were arguing or to put it the other way I was sobbing and begging her, she was screaming at me and mocking me. Our pace was really fast, just to add to the whole atmosphere - as if she was hurrying away from...me. Then came the heart - breaking moment, I turned to her with an ID card (the like employees use in those big glassy buildings) on a string hanging from my hand - she wanted the card for her own benefit probably, and handing it over to her with tears streaming down my face in a shaky voice I asked: "Do you - do you really want it for your own gain or to hurt me?" </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My whole body was shaking. She turned to face me and I could see <i>it</i> in her eyes... she wrenched the ID card from my hand and as she spoke her voice was full of hate and malice. It was pure hatred you feel to the core. Not the playful one - oh my god I hate you so much and the other second you end up hugging and kissing. No. It was pure, undeniable, honest, genuine hate that sends shivers down your spine and tears your heart into pieces. Her answer was: "Just to <b><i>hurt</i></b> you." Then I woke up and cried... </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">It was a lovely day. Such a lovely
day for a disaster. Mrs Nuts was sitting in her favourite kitchen chair and
reading her favourite novel by far – Shontelle l’Torque: A Strong Woman. The
last pages were extremely emotional so Mrs Nuts couldn’t hold back anymore and
we could see a tear rolling down her cheek. Just then her husband, Mr Nuts came
in. His enormous Pringles-guy-like moustache was trembling for he had to giggle
at the sight of this sentimentally not the most stable woman. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Oh, Edgar, darling, come here.
I’ll read you this bit,” Mrs Nuts called and sniffed loudly. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Ah, God forbid, my dear!
Everything but that…” Mr Nuts’ eyes widened. Fear crept on this big fat man. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Oh, Edgar, you’re being
prejudicial. This is the best book that could have ever been printed in the
whole wide world, in the whole history of mankind.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">Mr Nuts rolled his eyes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Trust me Edgar,” Mrs Nuts pursed
her lips.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“I’d rather not,” Mr Nuts
murmured, adjusted his trousers and sat down and one only waited for the moment
for the trousers to explode and the shirt to start firing buttons. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Oh, Edgar,” Mrs Nuts sighed with
her hand on her mouth. She wiped her round eyes and stood up. Even when she
stood still she seemed to be moving or at least shivering all the time for her
flowery dress looked like a meadow in the breeze. Mrs Nuts smoothed down the
six hairs which were out of place, held her head high and announced: ”I’ve got
to go to the loo.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">Mr Nuts didn’t give a reaction
whatsoever because he was busy studying the earwax he managed to get out of his
ear with his little finger. After a few second Mrs Nuts had left the kitchen,
however, she came back. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“You’re not on the toilet, Edgar,”
Mrs Nuts stated more to herself, her eyes wandering uncontrollably. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Wait a second,” Mr Nuts said
lazily, ”I’ll make sure, my dear… no, I’m not,” he looked at Mrs Nuts and
raised his eyebrows. Her mouth was again covered with her hand, her brow was
furrowed, her brain trying to process information.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“But the light is on…” Mrs Nuts
muttered. “The light…is…on.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“What’s wrong, my dear?” Mr Nuts
was fully aware he must do something. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“The light is on.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“I don’t understand.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“The LIGHT is on.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“What do you mean?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“The light is ON.”</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“My dear, calm down and sit down
for a while, will you?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Edgar, we must…”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Yes?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“…get him out.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Okay then.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">Mrs Nuts scratched her head
sending thirteen hairs out of their place. Mr Nuts took a deep breath, the
trousers and the shirt doing their best to keep the flesh clothed, and thought
hard how to get him out. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">Mrs Nuts left the kitchen
shivering with sobs. Mr Nuts followed. She carefully placed her ear on the door
of the toilet. Then she knocked gently. Nothing. She knocked a little harder. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“No answer,” her lip trembled. Mr
Nuts swallowed hard and with a firm fist banged on the door. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Honey, sweetheart, are you all
right? Your mum and dad are worried. Please, say something.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">Silence.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Oh, Edgar, what are we going to
do?” Mrs Nuts lay her head on her husband’s chest. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Stay at piece, my dear, I’ll
figure something out.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“I’ll write him a letter. To
comfort him. So that he knows we are here for him.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“That’s a marvellous idea!” Mr
Nuts agreed. Suddenly, the bell rang. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Bloody hell, who is this?!” Mr
Nuts went to answer it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Helloooo neighbour!” Mrs Chaos
waved. “Aw, you look…ehm… anyway can I borrow your vacuum cleaner?” she smiled. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“It’s really not the right time,
Mrs Chaos. We…”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">But in the meantime Mrs Chaos
managed to invite herself in and when she spotted poor Mrs Nuts not being at
ease she gasped and threw up her hands.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Oh my, what has happened?“ </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“My-my son is stuck on the toilet.
He is not answering.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Good Heavens! He might have
fainted. And hit his head really bad. He may be bleeding. Lying there
unconscious in his own blood with his pants down. Soaking wet in his own red
sticky blood and…” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Okay, thank you, Mrs Chaos, I
think that’s enough,” Mr Nuts grabbed her by the arm terrified what she might
have caused to Mrs Nuts’ nerve system. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Oh, I’m just trying to help. Lord
knows I really am. Have you called the police? And the fire fighters…”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Well, that’s actually a
marvellous idea,” Mr Nuts pondered the suggestion.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“…and the gravedigger – you know
just in case, to be ready…”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“MRS CHAOS,” Mr Nuts exclaimed,
“it’s been lovely having you around but if you’ll excuse us, Mrs Nuts needs to
take a rest now.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Ehm, okay. I just wanted to make
myself useful…considering the situation you’re in, one would think anybody
would come in handy. But no. They are picky even in an unfortunate situation
like this…well, and I wanted your vacuum cleaner by the way,” Mrs Chaos looked
them up and down. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“I’ll find the way out myself,
thank you very much,” and off she was. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">Mr and Mrs Nuts stared blankly at
the place where Mrs Chaos was a second ago. </span></div>

dear. And Mr Stuck as well, I gather he was in a similar situation, he will
have experience in this…ehm…area. And then I’ll look for my shears, maybe we
could snip the hinges. And dear, supply him with water in the meantime. It

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Brilliant, Edgar! You are the man
to count on when emergency arises. Now I know I have married the right man,”
Mrs Nuts cried melodramatically. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Oh my dear!” Mr Nuts was touched,
approached Mrs Nuts and kissed her passionately on the forehead. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">Some time later uniformed men
stood in a semicircle around the toilet, water supply was running, a letter was
written and delivered and another was already being written, Mr Nuts found the
shears but waited for the fire fighters to come up with a plan. Dozens of crumpled
papers were scattered on the floor – unsuccessful attempts and unfinished
strategies with flaws and inconsistencies. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Time is running out, chief,” Mr
Nuts whispered to the head fire fighter. Sweat drops appeared on his forehead,
he breathed heavily and tried to stay concentrated. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Yeah, yeah, we are working on
something right now…we ehm imagine it might perhaps work…we…” the fire fighter
assured Mr Nuts.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

you should…”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Hey, calm down, we know our
stuff, trust would be nice, too.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Of course,” Mr Nuts nodded.
“Would you, by any chance, want some nuts?” Mr Nuts added.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“That would be lovely.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“My dear, you’ve heard the man, a
double espresso with nuts, and quick!” he called on Mrs Nuts. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">The atmosphere was tense. The
clock was ticking. Everyone grew impatient. And the light was still on. But
then, out of nowhere a sound was heard. Everybody turned in the direction of
the door. The front door, however. They held their breaths and waited. Clinking
of keys, insertion of a key into the lock and the door opened. There he was,
the son of Mr and Mrs Nuts well and alive. He entered and raised his eyebrows
at the sight in front of him. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Ehm, hello there. What’s up?” he
asked confused. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Oh, my sweetheart!” Mrs Nuts
rushed towards him and embraced him in a tight hug. Mr Nuts was speechless and
just squeezed his shoulder. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Whoa, what is this all about?!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Oh honey, we thought you were
stuck on the toilet…”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Excuse me…?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“But hold on a second. If you are
here then…then who’s there?” she pointed at the toilet door. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">Everybody gave a
little gasp. Mr and Mrs Nuts’ son came to the toilet and pressed down the
handle. The door opened only to reveal an empty toilet with a huge puddle in
front of it and a couple of letters with smudged ink. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Oh,” Mr Nuts laughed. “I must
have…must have forgotten to switch off the light.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">“Ehm…yeah…” concluded the son.</span></div>

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">We’re walking along the river holding hands. Such a shame I had to ruin this beautiful moment. I knew it was coming, it was something I just couldn’t avoid. I had already made up my mind. I squeezed Ivan’s hand and made a halt. After a few steps he was forced to stop too. He looked at me and smiled. I kissed him – I had to, although I knew it would just make things more difficult. I studied his calm face unaware of what was about to happen…</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Ivan, …” I began. Jeez, neither the dimples in his cheeks made it easier. I was replaying this moment over and over again in my head, never finding the right scenario. I mean, things like this can’t have a “good screenplay” or whatever. They’re just wrong, lame and make the world a sad place. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“<i>Sometimes…love is just not enough</i>,” I said firmly and let go of his hand. He didn’t get it. He scowled, shook his head, he didn’t know what I was talking about. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“I’m sorry,” I whispered, turned around and started walking away, determined. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Joan, wh…?!” he called.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">I quickened my pace.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Joan, wait!” He wanted to catch up with me but I broke into a run and left him behind. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">When I got home I finished packing, zipped up my suitcases, checked my passport, flight ticket and unplugged my telephone, for it was constantly ringing and I knew it would for another few weeks. But Ivan knew I was going away, we had talked about it, I just didn’t quite familiarize him with my plan to break up with him. It was cruel but I’d rather be the bitch than the whining wreck. I was sure it wouldn’t work for neither of us. And so I moved to another city because of a better job. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">Unknown luggage was passing by. I was watching out for my brown suitcases. When I finally spotted and unloaded them of the conveyor belt I made my way to the arrival hall where Michelle was supposed to be waiting for me. I glanced over the crowd of people anticipating their loved ones, family, friends or business partner and immediately recognized Michelle. A broad smile set on my face when I noticed the sign in her left hand with my name on it and a ‘Welcome home’ balloon in her right one. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Finally,” I smiled and we hugged tightly.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“You have to tell me everything,” she stressed. We walked into the spring chill which sent shivers down my spine. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Better…,” I yawned, “leave it till tomorrow.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">” </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Ehm, yeah you look quiet worn,” she added.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Thanks,” I laughed.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“But there’s one thing I should probably tell you,” Michelle said chewing her lip. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“What?” I asked suspiciously, the image of a hot bath and a comfortable bed fading out…</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Excuse me?!”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“You’ve got a date tonight,” she murmured under her breath. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Michelle, that’s not funny…”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">I shook my head in disbelieve. “Are you out of your mind?!

With chairs!” she emphasized. I took a deep slow breath, counted to 10 and went on: “All I want is to go home and have a nice long hot bath with bubbles and my yellow gummy duck and then,” I raised my finger,” crawl under my covers and sleep, OK?”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

Aww, I hate you, I hate you so much,” I swore quietly and looked around the restaurant for the hundredth time. I leisurely leaned my chin on my hand and wished I hadn’t come. I was so extremely tired that I was afraid I’d drop out in a plate of food. ‘Jeez, I could have been sleeping right now…’ I looked at my watch – it was 6.35 p.m. We’re supposed to meet at 6… ‘Of course he’s late, why not…it’s just a blind date with a complete stranger, the first impression was the least thing I’d worry about, mister.…’ I closed my eyes for a second. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Is it free?” he pointed at the seat opposite me. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“No!” I answered automatically. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Ok,” and he sat down anyway. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Ivan, damn it, I’m expecting someone!” He sensed anger in my voice. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Joan, calm down, it’s all right.” He opened the menu and started flicking the pages. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“If he sees you here, he will feel misled.

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Yeah…about that, ehm it’s just the way it’s supposed to be.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“What? What do you mean?

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">He cleared his throat and asked: ”Would you recommend pork or beef?”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">I rolled my eyes. “If Michelle finds out you ruined this date she set up for me…” At the mention of Michelle he opened his mouth then closed it again. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Wait…you two didn’t…?!

Both of you!” I hissed, my blood boiling. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">The corners of his lips twitched, he looked content. “Red wine or white wine?” he muttered casually.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Ivan, what is this all about?” I asked exhausted. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Beef,” he pointed his finger at the menu and nodded.

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Fine, I’ll ask you again…”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Shut up!” he snapped. I was gobsmacked, my mouth still open. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Well, I was going to say ‘Shut up, woman!’ but that’d just be very rude. Now it’s just…rude,” he shrugged as if to say ‘You know, whatever.’. He paused. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Joan, we both know we belong together,” his tone was serious this time. “And don’t deny it,” he warned when I was about to contradict. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“You know it, I know it and the waiter knows it,” Ivan smiled. The waiter, who just came to our table to take our order, looked confused. When he left Ivan continued. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“I have no idea what that was supposed to mean,” I knew he referred to the day I broke up with him,” but hell I bet you even count this as our – I don’t know – 300<sup>th</sup> date or something.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“436<sup>th</sup> actually,” I muttered under my breath, blushing. I’m not sure if he had heard it but he smiled. He leaned forward and reached out for my hand. ‘The dimples, not again the dimples! Just don’t make eye contact with them…be cool.’</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“You know sometimes…<i>’All you need is love</i>,’” he sang. ‘Ohmigod, how I love his voice. I guess I’m going to thank Michelle after all…but still she should have told me!’ I smiled at Ivan for the first time that evening. I was thrilled to the bits, it felt just right. Suddenly, however, someone called my name.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Ehm-ehm Joan? Is that you?”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">My eyes shot open. Everything disappeared. I blinked blankly at an unfamiliar face. The man stood next to my table and began laughing.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Hah – sorry to wake you. I’m William, by the way. William Tedder,” he held out his hand. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Who? Where’s Ivan?” His hand hovered awkwardly in mid-air. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Ehm, who’s Ivan?” he scowled. “I’m your blind date. I’m Michelle’s friend.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Oh – I…” No way. The dream was so vivid, so real, so beautiful. And still just a dream.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Anyway, you’re early,” he gave a little smile. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Early?? EARLY?” I almost chocked on the word. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Yep, well, it’s just a quarter to six…”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“What – no! it’s nearly seven! I’ve been waiting here for a bloody hour!”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Joan, I can assure you it’s not six yet. I came in early to make sure everything is fixed.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“That’s impossible,” but all of a sudden I realized. I clasped my hand over my mouth. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“I’m so sorry William…I must have had my watch still set on the other time…an hour ahead...different time zone. Gosh…” I buried my face in my hands.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Oh, no big deal,” he smiled but I could tell he was uncomfortable. I sighed. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;">“Okay…let’s order something, shall we?” I forced a smile. He nodded and disappeared behind the menu card. Just then my phone beeped. ‘Great,’ I thought things couldn’t get worse…and yet there was I fumbling with my phone on a first date with a man whose only pleasure was probably the food (not even prepared). So avoiding meeting his gaze I read the message: </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Constantia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Finally heading home. This was awful of a day. I’m ready to drop. My only wish is to shorten the distance between my head and my pillow to the minimum as soon as possible. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Constantia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Just to explain why my day was so terrible: I had to give a presentation at work in front of like 20- 30 people. Honestly, I’m really not the type of person for such things – I’m nervous, afraid of failing, making mistakes, stammering, not spontaneous enough etc. etc. etc. It’s just really not my thing… not only was I nervous but I also breached the chronology of the presentation, so I had to get back to this and that. What resulted in forgetting to mention some quintessential matters. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Constantia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Moreover, my mouth was so dry so I wanted to drink some water but as it happens sometimes, especially when you least expect it, you unconsciously mess up the drinking slash gulping process as such and you cough and cough and cough and choke a little more as if you were supposed to get your lungs out not just a few strayed drops of water. Anyway, you think it’s fine and eventually want to speak up again cause it’s embarrassing how everybody keeps staring at you as if you have tuberculosis… but after every third word the urge to cough comes back and it sounds like: “Let’s turn our attention …ehm…to the next p …ehm ehm …sorry …point of this …ehm ehm ehm …this… ehm… presentation. Ehm… sorry.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Constantia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Yes, it definitely gives you more confidence and courage to carry on. No, you’re definitely not close to burst out in tears and run away pressing your own hand in the shape of an ‘L’ on your forehead. No, not at all. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Constantia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Additionally, I wasn’t able to answer several questions – my only reaction being more and more colour in my cheeks. Then my boss hasn’t forgotten to express his utter disappointment and stress that I’d rather be looking for a new job as this was my chance to ‘shine’. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Constantia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Nevertheless, my bus is here and I’m on my way home. Not a single free seat. Great. I’m holding onto a bar and the monotonous rattling makes me sleepy. People around push and shove and I feel even more uncomfortable. I decide to fix upon a point behind the window and wait… Unfortunately, I can’t avoid noticing a little boy picking his nose very intensely. I shake my head at his mother sitting next to him texting or whatever on her smartphone. Her eyes are fixed on the screen completely unaware of the surrounding world. The boy studies a loathsome find from the depths of his nose now on his finger. “Look, mummy,” he trusts the finger at her. She mumbles something, continues to text and the boy looks disappointed. On this I close my eyes for a second but two high – pitched voices just don’t leave me at peace. They belong to the two young I’d say 15 – year – old girls sitting nearby. I try not to listen to them but it’s impossible. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Suddenly, a picture of a lonely exhausted mountaineer collapsing near a cottage, where his life would be saved, jumps in my head. ‘But I’ll make it,’ I smile to myself, unlock the door, take my coat and shoes off and go to the kitchen where David is sitting at the table, lots of papers scattered in front of him. His elbows are resting on the table and he’s massaging his temples with his eyes closed. As I step into the kitchen his head flies up and a bright smile crosses his worried face.

It took me an hour to accept the fact that sleep won’t come soon…Never mind. I guess my head is too full and can’t be switched of – or at least put to stand by for a while. I wanted to get up earlier tomorrow (well today) and finally finish my German translation. But I guess I’ll just end up tired and unable to get up in the morning. So I’ll sleep late, finish the translation later and as a result manage to do far less things than I hoped… </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Plantagenet Cherokee","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I noticed I keep saying ‘I don’t have time’ quite a lot recently. That makes me kinda sad… I’ve got the feeling I’ll never find the time for some things. I may sound pathetic but I sometimes feel I’m running out of time no matter what I do. But there’s yet so much to be done, seen, heard, felt… I know I’m being melodramatic right now but hey, it’s 1:36 a.m. I’m meant to be.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Plantagenet Cherokee","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I wonder when I fall asleep. I hate sleepless nights. They’re such a waste of time! Precious time…Because you neither sleep/rest nor do something productive/creative/pleasant… You’re just tossing and turning, trying to find </span><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Plantagenet Cherokee","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">the position</span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Plantagenet Cherokee","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> that eventually brings sleep. And there’s still the glimmer of hope, you know… You don’t give up after 10 minutes or half an hour. You keep saying to yourself: ‘Don’t worry sooner or later you’re going to sleep like a baby! Just don’t try to wake yourself even more. Keep your eyes shut. It’ll come naturally. Just stop focusing on the process itself. And don’t think about not thinking about falling asleep – that won’t help either. Just think of something else. But try to avoid your problems, plans or duties. It’s going to bother you too much – and you definitely won’t fall asleep. Think of something casual. Let’s say…’ </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Plantagenet Cherokee","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">And so on and so on…and as you’re fighting this pointless battle inside your head, you keep yourself awake. Well, why not right? Right. Then you look at the watch – for you’ve been expecting sleep any second and were disciplined enough not to look every 5 minutes. ‘CONGRATULATIONS!’ – you realize you’ve been lying in the bed with no result whatsoever. You get up – as quiet as possible, not to drag your sister from the sweet land of dreams – grab a sheet of paper and start writing down what comes to your mind. If you were a genius, it would probably be a masterpiece – so it was your destiny not to fall asleep on that particular night! But as you’re just a random person walking this Earth, you’ll finish it with no deeper thought, maybe even more frustrated and tired and definitely more awake (if it’s possible) but undoubtedly wiser: Sleep is overrated. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

It’s a party, you’re supposed to have fun! It shouldn’t cause you stress in the first place…’ I only knew Eric out of 20 people out there. Well, and his girlfriend whom I saw for the first time 15 minutes ago. I’ve been trying to find him but in vein. So I found a hiding place instead. ‘He could have introduced me to somebody at least. Never mind. I can do this! I…I…I’m an out – going, sociable, cool and self - confident person. I’ll just walk out of this door and start to extremely enjoy myself. I guess. At least that’s the plan.’ I glanced at my wristwatch. ‘23.57. Okay, let’s say I might have spent here a little more time than appropriate for a visit to the loo…but…but what?’ I shook my head at my own incapability of getting rid of my introvert self. ‘But I can have fun! I certainly can…when I’m with people I know’, I added to the conversation inside my head. I took a deep breath with my hand on the doorknob, plastered </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">on </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">a fake smile and then tried to figure out which part of the crowd looked more welcoming. Mmm alcohol…can we be friends?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">There was a table with a lot of bottles, glasses and stuff. And a definitely not bad – looking guy. I elbowed my way through and helped myself to a shot of vodka and a glass of something that might have been orange juice. I felt the alcohol burn its way down my throat and I must have made a disgusted grimace cause the man next to me laughed. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Good, ay?”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Hayley,” once I shook it I forgot his name. Damn, this happens far too often. I smiled shyly and poured myself another drink.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“And…where do you know Ivan from?” he asked.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Oh, I…I don’t actually.” The music was roaring in the house. I guess </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: small;">it</span> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">was ‘Time of my life’ – yeah definitely my case. He looked at me blankly. ‘I should probably say something,’ I figured. I gulped idly. ‘Say something! Anything!’ I urged myself.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Ehm, nice place,” I pointed out though objects and furniture were hardly recognizable in the dimly – lit living room.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“What was it?” he moved closer. I waved my hand dismissively thinking of something highly intelligent or at least interesting to say. I thought of people who have the ability to talk even when there’s really, really nothing to talk about… I wondered how they do it.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“What do you do?” I yelled over the “Party rock anthem”.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“I’m an engineer, “ he yelled back. ‘Of course,’ I doubted.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“You?”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Ehm, office work, paper work and stuff, yeah…real fun,” I laughed awkwardly.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“And…ehm,” I gathered more seconds, “where do you live?” </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">He obviously couldn’t hear me for he just nodded and smiled hoping it wasn’t a question. Bad luck, man. I glanced at the unfamiliar faces surrounding me. No sight of Eric or his girlfriend. ‘Not hard to tell what they’re up to,’ I thought. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The nameless guy was still staring at me. I wondered whether I should keep the ball rolling… I couldn’t really think of anything to say. So I helped myself to another vodka. I wasn’t quite sure how much I’d drunk since it was so dark there and the glass was rather big. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Few moments later we’re casually moving our heads back and forth to the rhythm of “Sweet dreams”. He looked so awkward it was funny actually. Once I had another vodka rushing through my blood we’re kinda dancing together. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Got a girlfriend?” I blurred out not caring to be polite.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Ehm, yeah, she’s around here… somewhere.” </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I couldn’t bother to stop touching him, holding him close to me. He seemed not to mind to be honest.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Want another drink?” he whispered into my ear. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I nodded eagerly, gratefully accepted the glass and drank the whole of it. I shut my eyes tightly then opened them again. After a few seconds I realized the room was floating before my own eyes. The guy wasn’t there or I couldn’t make out his face in the crowd. Just when I thought I’d rather get some fresh air somebody hugged me from behind and pressed me close to his body. It was apparently a man… I managed to turn around and recognize the guy, though his features were slightly blurred. He said something I barely heard but I laughed like insane. I was excited. This felt good, really good. No boundaries, no chains bounding me tight making it impossible to have the courage to behave like I please, nobody looking over my shoulder checking what I’m doing – not even myself. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“FREEDOM!” I screamed at the top of my lungs and laughed. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Then I remember I’d another drink or two, I felt the guy’s hand under my jeans, my lips on his, the music blasting in the background, some vague memories of singing with two girls and that’s about it… then just a huge black gap.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> ▲ ▲ ▲</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">‘I’m probably alive. But if being alive feels like this I’d rather be dead.’ This was the first thought when I woke up. My tongue was glued to my hard palate. ‘WATER,’ was the second thing that came up in my mind. I slowly opened my eyes. ‘Why the fuck is everything still spinning around?!’ My eyelids were so heavy I passed out again.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The next time I woke up I heard some noises but wasn’t able to identify them. Somebody could have been freely stealing all my possessions and I couldn’t care less. The dryness in my mouth was unbearable. I tried to form some saliva but with no result. It felt like not a single drop of water was left in my whole body. I breathed slowly and rolled onto my back. Not a good idea…my stomach was upset. I suppressed the urge to puke. I fixed my gaze upon ceiling. Breath in. Breath out. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">‘It’s going to be fine,’ I lied to myself again. After a significant while of peering at the ceiling I realized it wasn’t mine. The ceiling, of course. I don’t have such a chandelier. Suddenly, all the differences hit me: it wasn’t the smell of my sheets, the size of my pillow or the colour of my walls… I panicked. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">‘Where the hell am I?!</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">’</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> My feeling of nausea and thirst weren’t worrying me right now. ‘What has happened?’ I instinctively felt for my underwear. Not only was it there but I was also fully dressed. ‘That’s a good sign, I suppose.’ I looked around. I was in an unknown room. The door stood ajar. I heard some more noises, probably from the kitchen… ‘But who brought me here? Oh, I hope it’s Eric. I’ve never been to his apartment before, though. I really hope it’s him,’ I pondered this for a while and looked around for any clues, a photo or his piece of clothing. Instead I spotted my handbag. ‘Thank God! But I should probably get up and face whoever is behind that door.’</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I swung my legs from the bed and sat up. Not a good move. Again. I hold onto my belly and inhaled deeply. ‘Relax.’ I realized the air was rather stuffy and my smelly breath not a great contribute. I was sitting there for a few minutes waiting for my stomach to settle a bit. The smell of fresh coffee reached my nostrils. It didn’t have the pleasant effect as usually. My knees supported my elbows and I hung my head down. ‘Okay. It’s better and better…’ Next to the bed there was a bucket. ‘Damn it! How embarrassing.’ There’re actually no traces of a throw – up but I was pretty sure it found its use yesterday. When I looked up a merry face filling the gap of the opened door scared the hell out of me.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Jesus!” I clutched my hand to my chest. No sooner had the shock withdrawn a bit that I got the chance to thoroughly take in the guy’s face. His nose looked broken.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“I…” I began but not a single sentence was prepared in my mind for such a situation. I felt the colour rise into my cheeks.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“I… I’m sorry… I…” don’t know who you are – I finished in my head. ‘Oh my God, I’m so stupid.’</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Don’t worry, everybody has a tough night from time to time,” he smiled. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Breakfast?” he added and opened the door as an invitation to the kitchen. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Ehm…I… “ the very thought of food made me sick. But I didn’t want to be rude. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“You don’t have to eat,” he winked playfully and made his way down the corridor. I gathered all my imaginary courage and slowly stood up. ‘Good,’ I thought until I made the first step. The floor wasn’t as solid as it was supposed to. I held onto a wardrobe. After a while everything steadied itself and I followed him to the kitchen.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">He was munching a toast noisily, smearing marmalade with a knife onto another. There were a lot of crumbles around his plate. A second plate was set. Apparently for me…</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Thank you so much for…” I broke off in the middle of the sentence. ‘For what exactly? I don’t even remember.’ </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Ehm for rescuing me,” I laughed uncomfortably. Gosh, pathetic. He put down the toast, wiped his greasy fingers into the front of his T – shirt and sat back in his chair. He folded his arms on his chest and his brow furrowed. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Well, I guess you wouldn’t be so thankful if you knew we slept together and made a deal you rather wouldn’t keep your word on doing, right?” My jaw dropped, I couldn’t make a sound. He held my gaze for a few seconds then threw his head back and laughed. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Easy. Only joking.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“I suppose your hangover isn’t as bad as mine then if you’re up to such jokes…” I murmured through gritted teeth.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Oh, come on. Don’t be mad at me,” he smiled and motioned me to take a seat. I sat down and asked for a glass of water. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“So…ehm… what’s happened last night?” I had absolutely no idea. Flashes of blurred images were all I had. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Ok. What’s the last point you remember?”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Uhm…well…I…ehm…well…drinking, us kissing,” I lowered my look and blushed again, ”ehm, then singing I guess ‘I will always love you’ and well, not much really and I think that’s not the whole picture…”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“No, certainly not,” he laughed. “Okay, so you approached me, we drank together, talked, then danced and kissed and drank a little more and so on…”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Wait, what do you mean with…with “and so on”?” I panicked. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">He chuckled. “Don’t worry, nothing that could make you pregnant.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Oh, ehm fine,” I tittered nervously. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Of course,” he laughed.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Oh, you don’t remember where it is, do you? though you’re pretty close yesterday,” he sneered.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Century","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Miranda Watts lay on her bed, a sleeping eye patch covering her eyes for she has recently undergone an eye surgery to improve her sight. The curtains were drawn so that not much light could penetrate into the room. It was thoroughly quiet in the whole house just the wall clock was ticking loudly. She heard a voice from downstairs. ,Probably just Ian talking on the phone,’ Miranda thought. Ian West was her boyfriend she has been living with over a year now. They consider themselves being happily in love, planning their future together. She was just daydreaming about a nice summer holiday when she heard nearing footsteps. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Century","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">“Oh, darling, perfect </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">timing! I’m so thirsty. Please, get me something, will you?” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">“Uhm,” he said quietly, moving around the room, looking for a glass. Some more footsteps, bathroom door creaking, a click of the switch, water running, another click of the switch, footsteps. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">“Thank youuuuu!” she accepted the glass gratefully. She drank it at a single gulp. “Ah, that’s good…” she handed him the glass back.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">“Oh my God, I just had the weirdest dream ever!” she went on. “We were sitting on a bench when it turned into a boat,” she described vividly and gestured broadly. Suddenly, we were on the open sea and I was like “Paddle! We’re sinking! and you were like “No! Do it yourself woman!” can you believe it?!” she laughed not really waiting for an answer. ”Then,” she burst out dramatically, “water appeared in our boat and I thought, silly me, it was just seawater, right? But…but,” she was already choking because of all the laughing. After a while she calmed down.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">“Guess what! It was amniotic fluid. Imagine! Amniotic fluid all over the boat!” she was rolling from side to side laughing her head off, the bed softly creaking every now and then. He, on the other hand, didn’t think it was that funny but chuckled in spite of himself. When Miranda was happy Ian was too. Right now she seemed in seventh heaven. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">“Wanna know what it was, Daddy? POP! A baby girl was there and a second later POP! Another little human being. A boy! Twins! Ohmigod, two at a time! Impossible. Do you have the picture? Big, big mess, endless crying, sleepless nights, dirty nappies, multiply by two and you have it. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">“Oh, yeah,” she sighed and threw her arm over her eyes. He studied her silently for a moment, his heart leapt at the thought of having a child with Miranda. He shook his head and sighed knowing it’s probably never going to happen.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">“Yes, exactly. I know what you mean…” she pointed her forefinger in the direction where she thought he might be standing. “All the non-stop care and responsibility and stuff…” she trailed off. Silence fell, his long deep breath alongside her short and sharp.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">“You know, I think we still have time…we should enjoy a few years to ourselves and then we will see,” she smiled to the ceiling. ,But I don’t have much time…’ he thought miserably, his mind rushing back to the conversation a few minutes ago. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">“Well, never mind. Let’s drop it… I hope the recovery won’t take much longer. I wonder what the doctors will say on Monday…gosh I really miss the daylight. You know, it’s not until you lose something that you realise how much you need it,” she stated.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">“Uhm,” he could only agree.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

So sad actually.” They both pondered this for a while. She yawned, stretched and adjusted her eye patch.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

Already looking forward to working out and jogging and well anything that doesn’t involve lying in bed.” He raised his eyebrows wondering if she realizes what she has just excluded. “No!” she cried. “Wait. Not everything of course, honey.” They both laughed. They have known each other for so long already. ,She always talks first and then thinks,’ he smiled. ,So beautiful…so close and yet so far,’ he was uneasy. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">A bird sang outside. He looked out of the window. Miranda inhaled slowly, hoping Ian will get the hint. A wooden floorboard creaked gently under his feet, there was a sound of a handle being turned and a second later she felt a breeze of fresh air brush her skin. A satisfied smile settled on Miranda’s face. He took a step closer to the bed and considered saying something finally. Just when he opened his mouth a brilliant idea entered his head. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">“I could get used to such a good service, you know,” she said slyly. “I have all I want and need in the blink of an eye, well metaphorically speaking of course,” she giggled as her eyes were supposed to be closed the whole time. He sat down on the edge of the bed. Miranda was all smiles. “But I reckon sooner or later, you’d become fed up with me,” she bit her lip innocently. He placed his hand lightly on the pillow beside her head. “But I suppose I’d just become a lazy…” he leaned over her so that their faces were only a few inches from one another. “…coach potato,” she breathed out. “I… ehm do you have a new scent?” he smiled at how easily she could lose her bearings sometimes. She frowned. He knew it was time to clear the air. He kissed her, his heart throbbing wildly in his chest. As their lips finally parted, he ran his finger along her cheek and imprinted the image of the breathless Miranda, whose mouth was still slightly open, into his mind. “I…” she gasped unable to say anything. Miranda wasn’t used to be speechless. She listened motionlessly to his withdrawing footsteps which were muffled by the carpet in the corridor. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">As he was going downstairs Ian’s words echoed in his head: “This is going to be the first thing she sees when her eyes are fine again!” and the picture of the engagement ring appeared clearly before his eyes. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">“Hey, man!” Ian exclaimed from the living room. “How is she?” </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">“What…? Oh, she’s just fallen asleep…” he smiled weakly. “Better let her rest a little more,” he added quickly when Ian headed in the direction of the stairs. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

He was more and more frustrated. Suddenly, he felt his black trousers being tugged. His blue eyes shot open and he looked down at his 6-year-old daughter Lilly. She looked so small, so fragile. Jason knelt down to be on the same eye level and took her little hands. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">“What’s up sweetie?” </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><br />

Too young to understand, to cope with it. Just then Jason realized he had wrongly buttoned up her black dress. ‘She must have been wearing it like this all day,’ he thought. ‘Nobody noticed. Or everybody was busy pretending she wasn’t there. Just to make it easier for themselves,’ Jason thought angrily. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><br />

She was such a smart kid. But too young. Far too young for something like this. Jason felt tears forming in his eyes, knowing it’s not the right time for them to be rolling down his cheeks. No. Not now. Not in front of Lilly. He has to be strong, a super daddy. He gulped hard thinking it’s the worst question he ever got and knowing the answer is even worse. ‘They look so much alike,’ he thought desperately. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><br />

Jason had a feeling she already knew what was coming but those words just needed to be said aloud. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><br />

Jason found the missing tooth under her pillow a few days ago, when Lilly refused to sleep on her own, so he took her to his big double-bed. It seemed so ridiculously big now that the other side was empty. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><br />

Again it was one of those bad days. A splitting headache, she had to leave work early. With both hands she pressed her eyes hard. She felt like having nails hammered into her head with an elephant sitting on it. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><br />

She rooted through the drawers of her bedside table, sighed desperately. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><br />

She looked for the white container with blue letters... Jason was just tasting a sauce when Jenifer walked frowning into the kitchen. He looked over his shoulder and when he saw her expression, he asked concerned: ”What’s up, darling?” Jenifer inhaled slowly. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">“Who is Dr. Ashby?” </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><br />

To talk. We are going together, Jenny.” He didn’t dare to meet her eye for he knew what would come. Jenifer laughed sharply.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><br />

And not even the week after or the one after that. Not until one day when she fainted and Jason brought her to the hospital. They said it was an advanced brain tumour. She requested to stay home so a nurse was arranged to see her and to give her the medicine regularly. She wasn’t the only one who the tumour sucked life out of.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Time</span></i><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">. Time is valuable, precious and priceless. You can</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">’t buy it or swap it for something else. You can’t control or possess it. Time and tide wait for no man… Yeah, that’s true. In fact, time is your enemy. Never friendly, really. You see, when you need him the most he always runs away, disappears to nowhere in particular. And with disappear I really mean disappear so that you can’t find it anymore. You can search every nook and cranny but he won’t come back. That’s the period when you’re desperately longing for his presence. But he won’t just come by and say Hello! and stay… No. He appears at the very inappropriate moments. Just when you don’t want to see him, maybe even can’t stand him any longer – he is there. You want to get rid of him as soon as possible but you can’t. He lingers around, tortures you with just being there. He never stops, never waits, never slows down. Always the same restless, annoying, persistent and rhythmic tick – tock, tick – tock, tick – tock…</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Sometimes a second is underestimated. We just don’t see its actual value. Nor did I. Till something changed my life. Surprisingly, it was just a little short unnoticed second.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">People never believe that their life can change very quickly. Always mistakenly thinking they have enough time to do this, to experience that. But honestly, we don’t. You know, when you’re old (well, you probably aren’t yet) questions like ‘Was my life fulfilling?’ or ‘Did I manage to do everything I wanted?’ ‘What about my achievements, dreams, goals…’ ‘Am I satisfied to whom I grew up?’ just come up. You worry about your past, your mistakes but also recall the nice and pleasant memories. Most young people don’t ask themselves such questions. And why? I don’t know, but normally you just don’t suppose you will die young, do you? So in the youth have fun, explore the world and let’s don’t give the time left a second thought until “the end” draws nearer. That’s a nice plan, isn’t it? </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">But what if there is no time saved for you? Wouldn’t you rather you didn’t waste that afternoon just lying about and doing nothing (except updating your Facebook status to ‘bored’ in capitals and many, many exclamation marks – but not really doing anything about it, right?)? Would you consider your time management more carefully? Making it worth the while you stay here on Earth? Yes, you probably would… but who knew? Who would think it ends so soon? Nobody.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Personally, I took life for granted. Always too busy, too far away to live my life thinking I’ll just catch up later…later when I’m too old to work and ready to settle down, relax. It’s all about time. If it wasn’t for this one second, for this one particular decision (at that time I thought it was wrong but now I changed my mind) my life wouldn’t surely have even begun. Ironically, it almost ended. But could something that didn’t even happen to start really be over? Tricky question, I know. To be honest, I wasn’t very sure there was anybody who would drop a genuine tear if I’d pass away at that time. However, I don’t doubt it now. To understand what I mean you need to know my background. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I was a bitch. Not my words but some people called me that and afterwards never spoke to me again. It was for example, my own sweetheart brother, my best friend, eventually my boyfriend and my lovely parents as well. But I guess the latter had chosen other words to describe the very same fact. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Back then, I didn’t care because I hadn’t needed them. I had all that really mattered to me. So what is a warm family and a loving boyfriend for? ‘I can still make it up with then later’ I reassured myself. ‘Later when there’s time for relationships.’ That’s very nice when you’ve enough time available. Yes. But. What if you don’t? </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">So there I was – twenty – four with a degree and a great job position. I hadn’t a 6 – cipher salary but for a beginner pretty good. I just broke up with Jeff – that’s my ex, had a huge fight with Colin – my dearest brother and turned down an invitation for dinner from my parents. “L.O.W.,” I would reply (what meant lot of work, they knew the abbreviation by now). “Sorry,” and I hung up without further explaining. I had no idea that that ordinary day would turn out to be the beginning of my new life. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Once again I was snowed under with work and had to stay at work till ten o’clock. My eyelids were heavy and I couldn’t focus anymore. So I made my way home already planning tomorrow, checking my list of must – do – things in my head. I wasn’t really paying attention to the surroundings just automatically putting on food in front of the other. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Suddenly, a thought struck my mind – why not take a shortcut, you’re tired, you need your rest and your bed, it’s late and you’ve got to get up early, be ready for the next day, full of energy, new tasks ahead, new demands, challenges, problems to be solved…moreover, you’ll save time! Time, time, time, precious time. Always following schedules, timetables, set arrangements, nothing spontaneous or unplanned in advance. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">So I turned right and headed to the local park. I hated going there especially at night because it was all dark and scary. ‘But I’ll save time,’ I thought and persuaded myself. There was nobody to be seen around…nobody to call for help in case either… I tried to push such thoughts out of my mind and focused on my tomorrow’s duties instead. The path was lined with lot of bushy trees creating spooky shadows. My imagination was freaking me out so that I almost expected something to jump abruptly out of its mysterious hiding place scaring me to death with its ugly face and hunched figure, smelly breath and skinny hands eager to kill…STOP IT! I ordered myself. I shook my head and exhaled slowly to calm down a bit. Again I busied my mind with my tasks. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">An ivied bridge which crossed my path came in view. Underneath the bridge where I had to go were no lights. Just then out of nowhere a silhouette appeared in the distance. I clutched my handbag instinctively tightly to my body feeling uneasy. My gut feeling told me to turn around, choose another way to go home. But then I thought ‘Don’t be silly, it’s not Jack the Ripper or some serial killer, you’re almost home’. Well, almost…</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">So there we were, just the two of us in the dark. Maybe it’s just a plump lady wearing a huge jacket and a bulging bag on the back… As the unknown person drew nearer I noticed it was neither a harmless woman nor a pleasant peaceful man. I tried to remain serene and hurried forwards. Then he slowed down. I panicked. I caught a glimpse of what he was holding in his hand. A sharp silver blade shone in the moonlight. My heart was throbbing loudly in my chest. I had just one second to decide what to do. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In that very moment I had the feeling everything froze – time, my body, my mind, my breath… So many things happened in the second. I started to run. But he was faster. He grabbed my arm, pushed me to the wall and the next thing I remember is an awful pain in my stomach, my handbag being torn from underneath my stiff arm and my body falling to the ground. My hand flew to my belly. I felt something wet and sticky and there was more and more of it. I wanted to scream, to shout for help but no sound came…I had nothing, everything was gone with the stolen purse. My clothes were soaked through with blood that was still oozing from the wound. All of a sudden, from one second to the other, I was unconscious. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">When I woke up I was confused and every inch of my body hurt. I slowly opened my eyes and tried to figure out where I was. The neon hospital lights blinded me for a while. I heard voices and then somebody said my name. The voice was soft and full of worry. I blinked a few times and begun to recognize faces around my bed. My mother was leaning upon me, my father was standing on the left side and at the foot of the bed was nervously fidgeting Colin. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Hey,” I croaked. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Mum burst out in tears and nearly squashed my hand. It was turning blue by now…</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Ah, hello sunshine,” dad smiled encouragingly. “I’ll call the doctor.” </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Colin just nodded his head in my direction and then looked away.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Mum. Mum, what happened?”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“You’re mugged, darling,” mum said with concern. “And the attacker also stabbed you four times in your belly,” she added. “You almost bled to death,” mum said in a weak voice.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“But then he came by,” Colin pointed out of the room window, “and saved you,” he smiled. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">On the corridor there was standing a man with blond hair wearing glasses and talking to a nurse. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“You’re really lucky. Five minutes later and I’d get rid of you,” Colin teased. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Mum shot an offensive look at him. I giggled but everything hurt so I rather stopped. Even though I was lying there with a bandaged belly and head, I was happy. Seeing my family’s faces being worried just because of me meant the world to me. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I realized so many things right there. It was rather cruel that I almost had to lose my life to understand some things. To understand what really matters in life. It’s not your job or career. Or money. It’s the people you share it with and other things you can’t buy such as health, happiness or love. I realized that the more impossible it is to buy something the bigger value it has. You have to spend your time with your family and friends not with your office desk. Hadn’t it been for the blond – haired man I’d left this world angry with my brother, far away from my parents, without any real friends. Fortunately, I got another chance to fix everything. And I’m not about to mess it up this time. <span> </span><span> </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span></span></div>Kristína Pobjeckáhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09607041830627955449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8154020313977741188.post-6010371708181411622011-07-07T14:09:00.000+02:002011-07-07T14:09:23.376+02:00Dog # 3*<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:AllowPNG/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:HyphenationZone>21</w:HyphenationZone> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>SK</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:EnableOpenTypeKerning/> <w:DontFlipMirrorIndents/> <w:OverrideTableStyleHps/> </w:Compatibility> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/> <m:smallFrac m:val="off"/> <m:dispDef/> <m:lMargin m:val="0"/> <m:rMargin m:val="0"/> <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/> <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/> <m:intLim m:val="subSup"/> <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/> </m:mathPr></w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true"

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I bought a dog because I felt lonely. Lonely and abandoned. No one around and I hated it. I was never very much of a dog – lover or something. But buying a dog was still a better perception than ending up like an old pettish cat – lady. So Maximillian, that’s my dog’s name, became my best friend. It may sound pitiful but it’s true. At that time I had nobody – nobody to talk to, nobody to hug or kiss, nobody to have fun with, nobody to rest my head on their chest…</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I don’t really remember how I happened to be in a situation like that. My parents died when I was young on one of their hiking trips in the mountains. I had no siblings so they were actually my only close family. I’m not very good at making friends – not that I didn’t have any but I just wasn’t able to create a stronger bond to others. Every now and then a man appeared in my life but gradually all of them went as they came. And one day, I was 27 back then, I found myself sitting in the deafening silence of my flat realizing it has to be filled. With anything. I had nothing in particular in mind when I grabbed my car keys, got into my car and was driving around for hours looking for a “sound”. Just then a dog – shelter sign caught my eye and I thought that’s it! That’s the story how I got Maximillian – a white Labrador.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Having a dog meant new responsibilities and duties. I was rather surprised that I really enjoyed taking care of Max. At first, I was afraid I made a big mistake but soon it was obvious we found each other just in time. The people from the shelter said Max was found a few months ago all alone, starving and with a broken leg. Luckily, they managed to fix him up. I’ve loved him from the first moment I saw him. I gave him a new home and he…well… filled the silence with his cheerful barking. Of course we had our ups and downs at the beginning. For example, when I came home and found the sofa in pieces or my bed soaked with every animal liquid imaginable. After all troubles both of us were grateful we had one another. It may sound ridiculous but we somehow understood each other. <span> </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span> </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Anyway, I’m a big fan of romantic novels and films. As I’ve already read and seen too many of them my imagination is sometimes very vivid, unrealistic and naïve – just as all of this sentimental crap. Maybe I tend to like such things because they always have a happy end.<span> </span>Something I’m searching for for so long.<span> </span>I kept imagining the twist of my fate – coincidentally bumping into the love of my life in the middle of a crowded street, or being rescued in a dangerous situation, or a new colleague whom I’d hate at first but then would madly love, or a stranger appearing on the same spot at the same time and we would just naturally fall in love. Just for the record, nothing like that has ever happened to me.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">However, with a dog my imagination had new material to work with. For example, me, taking Max for a walk. Max hearing sounds in the distance, pulling on the line so hard I can’t hold him back anymore. Me running and desperately shouting his name. Then me turning around a corner and seeing a sexy stranger kneeling down and stroking Max. He looking up to me, sparks in his blue eyes, asking whether it’s my dog. Me answering yes. He asking me out. He passionately kissing me. Us having dirty sex. Marrying. Having children… THE END.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Or: Me in the woods with Max. A super – cute man with his female dog approaching. Our dogs sniff at each other, are playing with each other while we are talking, arranging to go for a walk together again. And again and again. Then creating two perfect pairs. Of course nothing like this happened to me within the 5 years I’ve had Max. Neither were any on my dog – involving – guys – picking – up methods successful. But…</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">One day I went to a nearby forest with Max to get a bit fresh air. It was very hot so I was drinking a lot of water for the whole time we were out. Unfortunately, the size of my bladder spoke for itself. I was too far from my flat to get there on time. That was an emergency. I tied Max to a tree and looked around. Perfect, nobody in sight. I spotted some bushes suitable as a provisional toilet. I dropped my shorts and knickers and squatted down. Suddenly, I heard an angry aggressive voice. The person was screaming furiously at somebody. A pleasant fear took over me and I slightly shivered. It felt weird to be scared of something but being drawn to it at the same time. I couldn’t quite explain. Nevertheless, it was a man and he yelled: “No! STOP IT!!! You must be crazy!” Pause. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Oh, yes. You always know how to destroy me life…” Another pause. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“What?! For my own good?! Are you actually listening to what you’re saying?” The man was kicking things around him. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“If you EVER call this NUMBER again I SWEAR I…” I held my breath and waited what came next. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Worse…yes…I hate you too!” </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Then I heard something smashing against a rock and part of his mobile phone were flying by nearby. I gulped hard and tried to make my way back to Max unnoticed. Although, I wasn’t very successful. A twig cracked under my shoe. Hurried steps were approaching the place I was standing at. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Who is there?” he cried. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">My heart beat wildly and I was rooted to the spot. My shaking hand was clasped to my chest and the other one held on to a tree for support. For my height and red hair it wasn’t very hard to notice me in the see of green. The man’s face popped out of the leaves of “my toilet”. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Ehm…I – I…” I stammered nervously. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“I really wasn’t eavesdropping… I – I was just…” I broke off. He raised his eyebrow and waited patiently. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I pursed my lips and mumbled: “Well, I was just pissing…” </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">He raised the other eyebrow as well, took a deep breath and said: “Hmm I can smell that.” His serious face relaxed and burst out laughing. I really didn’t expect that but couldn’t help myself and joined him. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">When he calmed down a bit he held out his hand and said: “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. It was just my mother on the phone. I know one shouldn’t be talking to his mother like that but she is making hell out of my life…” He smiled sadly. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Well, never mind, it’s a long story. I’d better be going.” But he actually didn’t move an inch. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Yeah, sure. Me too.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“You’ve got a dog?” his eyes lit up. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Would you like to see it?” I said sooner than I could think of it better. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Sure,” he smiled suggestively and gave me a once – over. I spun around and led the way back to Max, smiling to myself. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">‘Why do I like him so much? That’s sick, I know him only 5 minutes…’ </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“What’s your name, stranger?” </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Michael. And yours?” </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“I’m Victoria.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Hey you,” he stroke his back. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Maximillian, would you mind if I accompany you on your walk?” Max barked and licked his face. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“I guess he wouldn’t.” Michael stood up, looked me deep in the eyes and asked: “And Maximillian, do you think Victoria would mind if I join you?” Max barked again and I smiled.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">We were walking around the forest for hours. We were talking about so many things – from the weather to his complicated relationship to his mother, about our hobbies, pets, jobs, families, </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">favourite</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> bands, books or films. We shared our opinions about politics, culture, religion, love… I was so easy, like talking to an old friend. Everything had such a natural flow. I thought I finally found my soul mate. I was waiting for so long, dreaming, imagining and now I met him in such a bizarre situation. What I liked about him the most was that he wasn’t trying to hide his bad traits at any cost. Not that he was presenting them with pride but he was just honest and wasn’t picturing himself as a saint. I really hate two – faced people. Michael was different –that was one thing I was sure of. Well, we have known each other just a few hours and I wanted more. I thought I must have gone crazy – Am I really falling in love with a complete stranger?!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">When we neared my flat I gathered all my courage to ask him the question I’d been meaning to ask since he smiled for the first time. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Mike, tell me… do you have a girlfriend, wife or anything?” I bit my lip nervously and leaned against my front door. He took my hand and made a step forward, my heartbeat quickening. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“No girlfriend,” he said in his deep voice. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“No wife,” he moved even closer. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Nothing,” he said, our lips almost touching.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">‘What? That’s all?!

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Too – night?” I said hoping against hope. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Sure. Why losing precious time?” he laughed. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Michael, I…” he put his finger on my lips and smiled. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Victoria, it’s freaking me out what I feel about you.” My jaw dropped and I had to blink a few times to be sure I wasn’t dreaming. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“You don’t have to say anything.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Eight o’clock?” </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“I’ll be here.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">You can imagine what I was going through. I never felt like that about a man before nor did I think it was even possible to happen to me. But it did happen. I was running to and fro like insane, Max watching me with his big brown eyes. If he were a human being he would surely say: ”Oh dear, wake up… he is just a fucking asshole trying to get you laid.” </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Yes, this sentence built up in my mind but I ignored it and didn’t want to believe it. I reassured myself by repeating: ‘No. He is special, not like any other man. This is true love and he feels it too!’ </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I washed my hair, painted my nails, removed every unpleasant hair, picked the perfect outfit and helped my face with make – up to look flawless. I was highly satisfied with the result and I’m my own biggest critic. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The doorbell rang exactly at 20.00. I glanced at Max. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Wish me luck!” I mouthed to him and opened the door. I very much appreciated that Michael looked at first in my eyes and then studied my boobs. He looked even hotter than I had remembered him. The smell of his aftershave was killing me! He was wearing a light blue shirt, dark jeans and blue Converse to look casual. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Are you ready?” he offered me his arm. I grabbed it and off we went. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The evening went smoothly. He took me to the cinema and then to a small and cozy restaurant. I couldn’t get enough of this man. I wanted him to become a part of my life. Maybe it was meant to be. Maybe people like us don’t need much time to get to know each other…</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">He brought me back home. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“I don’t want it to end,” I said sounding a little desperate. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“It doesn’t have to.” He smoothed my hair, took a strand and smelt it closing his eyes. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Come up,” I whispered… and he followed. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I sat down on my sofa thinking my heart is going to pop out of my chest. He knelt down in front of me and started to slowly kiss his way up my arm. When he reached my shoulder he began to peel the dress off, the strap between his teeth. Then his lips on my neck sent a freezing shiver down my spine. I was losing control… I grabbed the back of his head and pulled him closer. I wanted to feel him… his hands all over my body. I began to unbutton his shirt revealing his bare chest. I felt his hand moving from my knee to the tight reaching my knickers… I was prepared for them to be pulled down but suddenly he changed his mind. I was confused but soon understood he wanted to explore my body some more. He cupped my breasts with both hands, squeezed them, kissed them. He held my head and we kissed. He ran his finger from my nose down to my lips, chin, to my cleavage, down to the belly and lower and lower. He whispered: “The way to paradise…” I opened my eyes and saw the look in his eyes saying: ‘The gentleman is gone. The beast was released.’ He tore off the last pieces concealing my body and the silence of my flat was broken…</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The morning sun tickled my eyelids. I yawned and stretched, my hand feeling for Michael’s body in my bed. However, only sheets and pillows were left. I quickly sat up shaking my head: ‘No. No way. He must be here. He’s is probably making me breakfast. Or has gone to buy something.’ </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">No notes. No messages. No Michael.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I don’t even have his phone number or address. Nothing. He disappeared like a ghost. Just a one – night – stand. That was a year ago. I suppose I really need a punch in the face. You know why? I still think of him, look for him in the street, in the forest. Because I still love him. I know it’s sick and I probably need professional help. But I do still love him. And what’s the point of loving someone who doesn’t give a fucking shit about you? Well, there’s no point. It’s just like trying to warm up on a cold fire… Though Max could fill the silence of my flat, he couldn’t fill the silence and emptiness of my heart. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
