As the day fades away

[Nihilio]

Είδος: τρόμος

Μέγεθος: 260 λέξεις

Βία/Σεξ: όχι

Άλλα: Η αρχική ιδέα πίσω από το Perfection in Darkness που δε λειτουργούσε για οτιδήποτε μεγαλύτερο. Το σηκώνω περισσότερο επειδή θέλω να δω τι θα έκανε μόνο του (και πόσο πιο ενδιαφέρουσα ιστορία κάνει κανείς συνδυάζοντας μια ιδέα με μια δεύτερη)

I hate summers. I hate this city.

And I hate this city at summers.

 

The air is hot and humid. Sweat is running down my skin, soaking my clothes. Clothes, stupid hot disguising the human ugliness. The bus is choke full of commuters, making the heat even more unbearable, the human herd huddled together in a choking embrace. It is almost dusk, but the soft evening breeze had not come with it. I really hate summers.

 

I get off the bus at nightfall. The sky is no more the blood red of sundown but a purple scab, the wound that is daylight closed for today. I'll just have to stroll through the park and I'll be at home.

 

The park's path is paved with stones. It is a tight winding road through the trees. The dense canopy obscures any trace of the starlight, the scarce light posts being small patches of illumination, their light holes in the dark.

I could never understand why people fear of the dark: it is totally harmless. But I know what it hides in it may not be harmless at all, so I quicken my pace.

 

My home is dark. I don't bother to turn on the lights. I just strip off my sweat soaked clothes and rush to the shower. The water is cool, refreshing, washing the heat away. I scrape at my skin, carefully removing it. The water now hits at my naked flesh, my true skin, granting me some much-needed cool.

 

When I am done, I get off the shower and walk in the dark. Probably I'll go to the park afterwards. The dark will hide me, the wolf will get the stray sheep.

Καλή ατμόσφαιρα, αλλά μακράν υποδεέστερο από την ανεπτυγμένη εκδοχή. Και τα αγγλικά θέλουν δουλίτσα:

Καλή ατμόσφαιρα, αλλά μακράν υποδεέστερο από την ανεπτυγμένη εκδοχή.

Το γνωρίζω, ίσως και για αυτό το σήκωσα, ως δείγμα του πόσο καλύτερη γίνεται μια ιδέα όταν δουλευτεί/συνδυαστεί με άλλες.

Και τα αγγλικά θα δουλευτούν από αύριο.
