“But
before I do that, I wanted to take a moment to have a look at the
city from top of Cytech. Aliva told me I have to go through the metro
station but the posters on the street have let me know that the flood
is still present under the ground so I was trying to make a different
plan - if I can -, but it didn’t seem too likely. The note with the
instructions that she gave to me in the last moment, didn’t reveal
the final meeting point with her people, for obvious reason: if I get
caught on my way, at least those people will remain safe and
anonymous. The next note about direction I have to follow, will be
probably at the station.
I
sat down for a moment on the edge of the roof and took a deep breath.
As the night fell down, a black layer seemed to appear on everything
around me, with such slow, hungry, growing darkness
that took over the vibrant
colors so flawlessly like they never existed before.
They
say that the day when your life changes, will be like any other day,
but it’s not true. That day was nothing like a normal day.
The bird that kept following me this afternoon, was no longer
seen, and the air was so full with electricity, that I was almost
able to touch it. I had so much luck since Tuesday when I could
escape from the Institute, but I could tell now that something has
changed, and I felt the tension under my skin, that urged me to go
on, as soon as possible.
Yet,
I was so mesmerized by the beauty of the city that I didn’t hear
the steps behind me.
“Don’t move”, a voice said.
