“Does that include me?” I asked “Am I one of these ´Maybe´? Father?” I noticed403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp6YS5W4EU
he chose not to answer, but instead to deflect, “Since you can read already, I am sure403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fC5u6iFc7
your writing skills are close behind, and so I would have you do something for me.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUeMzAXGEQ
Something quite important.”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NHctQVAgg
“I know writing, I mean what that is.” I remember waving my finger around as403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh2qp58pef
I tried to mimic the words on that sign “But I am not sure I can do it myself. Not yet.”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxfCCyIFJP
“It will come to you,” He smiled, his most appreciated attempt at inspiring any403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymWku1gtOn
confidence in me, “and when it does, I would like for you to write down everything403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VxSrGR6rA
that is going to transpire tonight.” He then rummaged through that big bag he had403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZILV4ScpCN
been readying for the last moments, before finally slapping his forehead after realising403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPgZPeCGdL
what he was looking for was already in one of his pockets. He took it out, and then403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTYw9gqwza
proudly handed it to me. That very same notebook that you now hold in your hand,403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedc2JbOUVX
“Can you do that for me?” He insisted.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxwxEksqkY
“I am not sure I -”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pfiPpIlrL
“It will come to you, all the memories and much more.” He smiled as he handed403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskhNC4Dxv2
me some pencils too, “And when you know how, when you feel confident enough to403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCfUvm6L9T
start, I want you to write down everything concerning tonight. Write as much as you403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWD1qHsglo
can - use whatever sight is available to you; pen down whatever your eyes or your mind403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfdv74IqNe
decide to show you – keep writing until you find yourself out of here.”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH2Te9mQaf
“Can I make it like a story?” I asked shyly, “Of sorts...”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTIaQtghod
“Yes, if it pleases you. You can try and structure it like that if you want but do try403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmADyKD35lh
and avoid any glib words.” He took another quick and desperate peek through that403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7fwDDeUOg
still barely opened crimson metal door “Then you can read it back to me, and to others,403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXVZwcsGib
once we are far and away from this place - safe and under the sun.”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBBecp9JoV
“Can I make some drawings too?” My heart jumped in expectation. “Well,”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyx3gdbr3P
He looked at me again, with the most patient of smiles “yes, certainly. Whatever helps403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaMPuKGzXm
you in the telling, why not?” He rummaged again for some crayons which he then403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3eZSC0i9H
handed to me, and then he hesitantly returned his worrisome look to what was waiting403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwwQIYYiNh
on the other side of that door.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpnzeMqFwd
“Are we going now?” I asked while holding all the things he gave me as tightly as my403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQxQ5FKnOs
little weak hands possibly could, “Father?”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7REZnWphnM
“Where could they be?” I heard him whisper “Well, no matter.” He took a deep breath,403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHDP0qVmTy
“Our way seems to be clear.” He then turned to me, with his eyes staring at mine in a403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zBzvP6z0N
more serious way than I had thought possible. “This is it. Are you ready?”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzffcuhaZpE
“Yes...” I scattered all the pencils and crayons across all pockets available to me and,403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z8gdRHAcW
while holding that notebook tightly in my right arm, I slowly extended my left one.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQKI5BXSYl
He gently took hold of my hand, caressed my fingers a few times behind a comforting403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbx1pAWq2J
smile, and then pulled me with him...403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio27kVDCIz
... and that is why I wrote all that you now hold.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeq46sAoVl
“I see...” The Tinker admitted a bit dubiously when we were already back his place,403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNwhJ1tmGE
“That is quite the tale.” His fingers constantly caressing the well-worn cover of that403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOnbSvXSdz
notebook; so easily displaying all the eagerness that his eyes would not share.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CUV5eVcem
“That is what happened.”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPvmbmoI2F
“Well, and what then?” He asked as he gestured me to take a seat. We were now in403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6GjYPGudE
what he called a ´living room´, and I could see all sorts of things scattered around that403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS6PCIEcCj
makeshift table standing distinguishably in the middle. “Go on, sit down. Wherever403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnNJyenKA1
you like.” he insisted after placing my notebook in the centre of that table. Then he403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItpdXazH6h
turned around, towards some cupboards and a device leaking out all sorts of fire.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmpsxkdYEa
“Can I take this one?” I asked regarding one of the few chairs I found in a usable403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PH58jWQst
condition.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFd0J3e415
“Go right ahead.” He promptly allowed, without even looking to see what I could be403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ926QVuXbvw
referring to, as he was now clearly too busy preparing something. “Thank you.”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96uBRCbFF8
“And then,” he asked me again, “what happened after?” He turned around holding a403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lcfwOJrGX
tray. On it rested a couple of exceptionally large and funny looking mugs, and between403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6VrLG1xAh
them was a smoking metal pot.
