They found themselves again at the center of the main hall, underneath the painting they were looking at a day before. Both carrying their own bags, they looked up to it again. They were completely silent the whole car trip from the house to the train station. So at least we keep in touch… Gabriel…

Gabriel? Ida softly knocked on the door to Ollie’s room. Come in. Gabriel said aloud. As she entered, she found him sorting papers on a big table that runs through the right wall of the room. Did you know that the fireball we’ve seen could be actually from an asteroid? He gestured her to come…

Huhummm. A loud grunting sound. Ida heard some garbled sounds but she didn’t want to open her eyes. She just wanted to stay like that. She was snuggled facing Gabriel, his right arm held her close. Huhuuuuummmm. A louder grunting sound. Oh bonjour. Gabriel abruptly sat up, sensing a presence looking at them. Bonjour tourteruex!…

It’s so wonderful … Ida said as a cluster of meteors fell in one part of the sky. They were both lying down facing the sky. Earlier, Gabriel laid out a ground lining and they went inside the sleeping bag. Gabriel folded his arms under his head, while Ida laid with her right arms at…

Gabriel led the way with a bright flashlight on hand. They were following a narrow stoned path through the forest. Everything OK, Ida ? Gabriel looked back. It’s not that far. Yes.

It’s the last fork, I promise. Gabriel said as he took a sharp right turn. In the last thirty minutes, they’ve made a lot of twists and turns on small roads. I don’t mind. Ida said. She actually enjoyed the car ride, secretly hoping it would last longer. She always likes the feeling of moving,…

They were silent at the start of the trip, perhaps waiting for the scenery to change. Because at the moment they were out of the city proper and they started to see more greenery on the side of the road, they were both ready to talk. I’m really very sorry to hear about Ollie… She…

A tall middle-aged man in his early 30s stood in the middle of a grand hall. He looked intently at something above him, his neck arched at almost a 90-degree angle. That is why he did not notice a dark-haired woman as she entered the train station through one of the wide-arched doors that connects…
