The Time After

'Where am I? It's dark here! Is there anybody else there?'1

'Cliche questions, Carolina.'2

'Who are you? I can't see him.'3

'Do not be afraid. I will be with you during this crossing. What is the strongest memory in your life?'4

'What a strange question! I... The book 'Eight Minutes Under Water', Nora Winterwood's. I love it. Hugo doesn't like... Where is he?'5

'The party at the boat during that storm. You have drunk a lot. You have fallen into water.'6

'I... Sank remembering 'Eight Minutes...'. Hugo shouted...'7

'He never confessed he loved you. He also almost drowned himself trying to save you.'8

'What are you saying?'9

'You died.'10

'Lie!'11

'I am sorry. Start to walk. We have a long walk till... A better place, where the deceased Nora Winterwood waits to meet you.'12

  • Well, the preveiw got me into reading this.

    But the more I read though, the more I got confused. It took me till the second read that I finally got it.

    Intereting conversation, I think. For the dead. I thought you did a pretty nice job.

    The gremlins got your story. See all the weird thingies in it? Try using Verdena font when you use your word processor, I think that will fix it.

    A philosophical and mysterious story you have here.
