Tíz perc sem kellett a teljes ébredéshez, ami a koffeinfüggő fiatalembernek rekordidőnek számított, ámde nem is csoda, hiszen percről percre érezte a szégyenkezés pírját feljebb kúszni a nyakán, mígnem az autójában ülve letekert ablakkal, hajában a süvítő forró széllel indult neki az útnak.

Dragging her feet over cold, barren soil that led in the form of a narrow path to the small church, Mary followed the calling of something more powerful than her conscience into the tiny building that was warmed by a mere few heaters placed around the altar, and lit by a few dozens of candles, tokens of zealous gratitude by the newly found reverence of the citizens of Bodeford.

The letter lay unopened on his night-stand where he had put it a week before. He had gone to bed that night with a turmoil in his heart he was shocked to experience at the sight of a mere envelope in which hid a few words from her, with all probability words of apology and regret, or a token of her continual friendship in the shape of ink on paper.

January arrived with vicious blizzards uncustomary to Bodeford. It upset the lives of its citizens, who for days did nothing but struggle to come to terms with God’s new form of punishment for their real and imaginary sins. Read the rest of this entry »

She broke down as soon as she lost him from her sight, and from then on, the evening went by in a state of stupour occasionally shattered by uninvited moments of clarity.

He must be Andrew, she concluded, and let her friend go for a moment to extend her hand to him. Read the rest of this entry »

Sunlight tickled the skin of his taut abdomen, and coffee was brewing in his kitchen. The fact that it was Angela preparing it for him already shaped his mood into that of an elongated, gloomy cloud that veiled the happy sun of his older self. He had a headache, and the upcoming night did not exactly bring blissful thoughts to his already deranged ones. Read the rest of this entry »

A koraesti napsugarak halvány narancsszín fénnyel borították be az ódon templomot, mely már kívülről is szellemlak látszatát keltette. Andrea borzongva figyelte, amint a nap sugarai egyre lejjebb és lejjebb kúsztak a falak moha-szegte kövein. Read the rest of this entry »

Nehezen kezdek bele, habár a szeretetről nem lenne szabad… nos, nem beszélni, mert beszélni igenis kell róla, amellett, hogy gyakorlatba is át kell ültetni… és szintén nem lenne szabad, hogy nehezünkre essen beszélni erről az érzésről, mely nem embertől ered, és mely még ma is összetartja kis világunkat. Talán éppen azért nehéz róla beszélni, mert senki sem tudja pontosan, mit jelent, és azt sem, hogy valóban szeretünk-e bárkit ezen a földön.

Nem hitte volna, hogy a második emeletre felsétálni valaha is ekkora tehernek bizonyul. Csigaléptekkel haladt felfelé, de még így is túlságosan hamar repítette testvére lakásának ajtaja elé a könyörtelen idő. Read the rest of this entry »
