22683 - Shadow I

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Vicky Baklessi

Lucy

What was that?

Dominique

I don’t know, I didn’t see…

Lucy

Didn’t you hear?

Dominique

I heard, but I didn’t see.

Lucy

See what in this darkness?

You heard though!

Dominique

Yes, I heard.

Lucy

What was it then?

Dominique

I don’t know.

Lucy

I think it was a shot…

Dominique

Impossible.

Lucy

Why. How do you know?

Dominique

I don’t know, but it doesn’t sound like it.

Lucy

Do you think they executed someone?

Dominique

Some man?

Lucy

Or some woman?

Dominique

How did that idea come to you?

Lucy

It didn’t come to me, I thought of it.

Dominique

How?

Lucy

Why is darkness so black?

Dominique

So that the shadows don’t show.

Lucy

What shadows?

Dominique

Those that come.
