“Does that include me?” I asked “Am I one of these ´Maybe´? Father?” I noticed329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYyWoBr3LP
he chose not to answer, but instead to deflect, “Since you can read already, I am sure329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6Deq62DMF
your writing skills are close behind, and so I would have you do something for me.329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPUwii7PBH
Something quite important.”329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGf8a4dXsY
“I know writing, I mean what that is.” I remember waving my finger around as329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zZergCXzA
I tried to mimic the words on that sign “But I am not sure I can do it myself. Not yet.”329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD1HcebzaY
“It will come to you,” He smiled, his most appreciated attempt at inspiring any329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUuyYSYT4J
confidence in me, “and when it does, I would like for you to write down everything329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2x7g7S2ez
that is going to transpire tonight.” He then rummaged through that big bag he had329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLSUvHdhlU
been readying for the last moments, before finally slapping his forehead after realising329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Doe4eueZT
what he was looking for was already in one of his pockets. He took it out, and then329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvjXxN6nKw
proudly handed it to me. That very same notebook that you now hold in your hand,329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqgM7Qcyxt
“Can you do that for me?” He insisted.329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTQXTnVnGC
“I am not sure I -”329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKd1GoEDJK
“It will come to you, all the memories and much more.” He smiled as he handed329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts27GaPM2S
me some pencils too, “And when you know how, when you feel confident enough to329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID2q10MDqx
start, I want you to write down everything concerning tonight. Write as much as you329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQX6AnlcTf
can - use whatever sight is available to you; pen down whatever your eyes or your mind329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1yrZMWQ7u
decide to show you – keep writing until you find yourself out of here.”329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MYO2Pu163
“Can I make it like a story?” I asked shyly, “Of sorts...”329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTIN3IrtMi
“Yes, if it pleases you. You can try and structure it like that if you want but do try329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHxitv0pmS
and avoid any glib words.” He took another quick and desperate peek through that329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10LJAe56JJ
still barely opened crimson metal door “Then you can read it back to me, and to others,329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKX4Ro8cIx
once we are far and away from this place - safe and under the sun.”329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT9t5K3rTf
“Can I make some drawings too?” My heart jumped in expectation. “Well,”329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73chF6mE7Q
He looked at me again, with the most patient of smiles “yes, certainly. Whatever helps329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojjAw8W14Y
you in the telling, why not?” He rummaged again for some crayons which he then329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzZfgFLUwj
handed to me, and then he hesitantly returned his worrisome look to what was waiting329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fLnXO4wwY
on the other side of that door.329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBj1wMtI64
“Are we going now?” I asked while holding all the things he gave me as tightly as my329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiemE3MeA6
little weak hands possibly could, “Father?”329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7kFR7kCUT
“Where could they be?” I heard him whisper “Well, no matter.” He took a deep breath,329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bjHiCPHYj
“Our way seems to be clear.” He then turned to me, with his eyes staring at mine in a329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2iE4Mebkx
more serious way than I had thought possible. “This is it. Are you ready?”329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC3R02BJMI
“Yes...” I scattered all the pencils and crayons across all pockets available to me and,329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMwEVv9B3C
while holding that notebook tightly in my right arm, I slowly extended my left one.329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylY3APyf49
He gently took hold of my hand, caressed my fingers a few times behind a comforting329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQL5DWHior
smile, and then pulled me with him...329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbp6lmwdyv
... and that is why I wrote all that you now hold.329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxM0z7Dy47
“I see...” The Tinker admitted a bit dubiously when we were already back his place,329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJk54Al0f7
“That is quite the tale.” His fingers constantly caressing the well-worn cover of that329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4IfeBFbHk
notebook; so easily displaying all the eagerness that his eyes would not share.329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3i22JvJ3m
“That is what happened.”329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxye0mjpcDI
“Well, and what then?” He asked as he gestured me to take a seat. We were now in329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnITtIqnUl
what he called a ´living room´, and I could see all sorts of things scattered around that329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRs8Mb6roz
makeshift table standing distinguishably in the middle. “Go on, sit down. Wherever329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlI2ICOu9G
you like.” he insisted after placing my notebook in the centre of that table. Then he329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt4a7fYAmP
turned around, towards some cupboards and a device leaking out all sorts of fire.329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAX02xHFNl
“Can I take this one?” I asked regarding one of the few chairs I found in a usable329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN81XjbDH9x
condition.329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyXfXbmyyu
“Go right ahead.” He promptly allowed, without even looking to see what I could be329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9YCVWWW2Q
referring to, as he was now clearly too busy preparing something. “Thank you.”329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6ygpawGSD
“And then,” he asked me again, “what happened after?” He turned around holding a329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTDKU1IMoL
tray. On it rested a couple of exceptionally large and funny looking mugs, and between329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17uSzQQ0Gb
them was a smoking metal pot.
