Zoë was sitting in front of the TV. It was snowing outside, slowly, romantically... She could see orange flames in the fireplace and smell gingerbread in the whole room. But her whole attention was focused on the TV screen. There were small blue people running away from a tall bad wizard. It wasn't an ideal situation, leaving a little girl alone in a big room at Christmas, was it? I hope you said ‘no’ dear reader.

Finally, Jerry Bloom saw his fishing boat tied to a rock near the beach. The rope holding Lucinda was short and the wind was blowing so hard that with each new wave Lucinda crashed heavily against the rocks. He could see the paint all scratched and the wood on the left side already damaged. It started two years ago. They moved into the house next to us and became our neighbours. That was the beginning of hiding, lying and running away whenever we met. Until it happened, I had been living a peaceful life because I didn't care about other people and they didn't care about me. One day, I met one of my closest friends in the city. He was shopping for some interesting reasons. He asked me if it was a good idea to buy one book. The book was something like How to Cook for Children. At least that's what I thought he said. I thought it was a bit strange since he was 46 years old, but, well, to be honest, he'd always been a little weird, so I didn't pay too much attention to it. When I looked down for the second time, he wasn't there. His seat was empty. I scanned the whole church, but with no luck. I stood up, smiled at the only other person in the church - an old lady - and quietly walked down the stairs. The old lady asked me if I needed help and I said no. I opened the front door, took a deep breath and walked onto the street. Vídavam za sebou mihotajúce sa tiene, počujem za sebou kroky. Pozerám sa za seba. Nie je tam nič. Ani doma nemám pokoj. Stále ma budí zvláštny šuchot. Niekedy sa zobúdzam na nepríjemný pocit, že sa o mňa obtrelo niečo studené. Bojím sa. Neviem, čo mám robiť. |
