In the aftermath

It's nearly sunset. Darkness will soon prevail. All is quiet except for the clicking of the mouse and the far away car horns.

He works, the clicking of the mouse and the swift ticks on the keyboard are the only signs of life in the room. He is eyes wide open, gazing steadily at the screen in front of him.

The ticking sound stops. And life stopped for a single part of a second. It was all quiet. He looks around as if just woken up from a trance. Standing up then stretching his body, he approached the opened high window. He stared out, the scene was so quiet at this time of the night. The trees moved silently. He stared out but seemed to see nothing, his thoughts took him in non-ending loops.


Climbing the stairs fast, left her breathless. Yet, she did it again and again. How she hated the 4 floors she had to climb to her little apartment. But she loved it so much. She knew that warmth and coziness that awaits there. It was the only place she can be herself and do what she wants. It was her sanctuary. 

She hurriedly closed the door behind her although no one was after her. Minutes passed as she steadied her breathing, laying on the coach looking at the ceiling. 

She's home but yet still she misses something. She knows she is free here, on her own but still the emptiness can't filled by this kind of freedom. 

The ceiling ,to her, opened and she was lost between the stars going on a long faraway journey.
