27860 - The Tower of Liberty
N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias
A woman runs and jumps over a man. She embraces him as hard as he could. And He keeps her hovering…
K: You’re late!
I: I did what I could.
K: It’s a good thing that you could! Get me down.
He let her go.
I: I’m glad he told you.
K: What did you expect? He speaks to me directly.
I: I know. He smiles at her.
K: Were you in pain?
I: What’s important is that we are here.
K: Correct. What happened;
I: We continue on.
K: But you didn’t make it …
I: I did … three days passed by…
K: You’re right.
I: He learned something …
K: I can imagine. What?
I: They were preparing something for the statue …
He looked towards the Statue of Liberty
K: I can’t believe it …
I: He had contemplated it already.
K: Is that why you’ve returned?
I: Yes.
Their glances became parallel.
