A COLD DARK NIGHT
It was a cold dark evening in November.
It was six o’clock, and people were going home from work.
Vanessa was driving out of town. She was in a hurry, but she wasn’t going home. She stopped to buy a bottle of wine and then got back into the car and continued driving.
Finally she reached her destination. That district in the suburb was full of legends. People said at night you can see lights and hear voices coming from the first floor of the second abandoned flat next to the post office. And this is only one of the told legends... .
Vanessa had a date with a weird man in the second abandoned flat next to the post office, first floor. When she went out of her car she immediately felt an unquiet atmosphere .
She knocked at the door, saw a good-looking man and she was surprised. He had particular green eyes, very black hair and a little beard. His house was modern with white furniture. Vanessa was surprised by a singular thing: the man was a knives collector; there were knives everywhere and Vanessa was frightened.
He said: -I’m happy that you are here, I’m Goran-
She asked: -Have you started flirting and sending e-mails force six months?-
-Yes, I have. Kelly gave me your e-mail address bacause...it’s a long story.-
-Were you her boyfriend?-
-Not exactly...if you come here, we’ll talk about it.-
Vanessa and Goran sat on the floor in front of a Japanese table with sushi on it. Sushi was Vanessa’s favourite food.
Then he said:"Don’t ask anything! I know you and you know me. OK?-
-Yeah...- She coudln’t finish speaking because he kissed her.
Vanessa was really surprised. He knew her and she maybe knew him.
He said:-I know you want to know who I am, but I want to drink the wine you brought before-
And she said:-Of course, here you are-
Vanessa didn’t realize that Goran was putting something into her glass and he didn’t show the knife he was holding in his hands. While they were drinking their glass of wine, Vanessa fainted on the floor.
When she woke up, she saw Goran looking at her in a strange way and then he said :-Who are you?-
Goran showed a 30cm long knife and said:-If I tell you, I’ll distress you more than with this knife-
Vanessa didn’t cry but held his hand and said:-If you tell me who you are I won’t shout tonight-
He understood and said-I’m what you had but you forgot- She said crying-Patrick? I just remember a name and some nightmare-
-Can I tell you all?-he asked
-Yes, please!-she answered.
-We were 18 and we were engaged, although our parents did not agree. We have been engaged for 4 years, but a day all finished.
We were driving home from a party and we had an accident. I broke my leg but you lost your memory of last years and you had a cicatrix on your right shoulder.
Your parents built again your memory but they deleted me. I discovered it when I came into your hospital room and you said-Who are you? Go out please!-I‘ve stayed closed at home for 3 months and then I started to flirt with women, haunt them, violate them, record their shouts and listen to them a lot of times for suppressing your absence. Kelly was the only one that knew you and I didn’t do with her what I’ve just said. So you are here.-
Patrick and Vanessa talked about past and future for a long time. Although they stayed well together, they knew there was a high wall between them...the time: the lost one and the future one.
They spent the night together. At 3.30 a.m Vanessa woke up crying silently and went in front of the wall with hundreds of knives. At the same time Patrick was waking up and was following Vanessa secretely. He had the right time for stopping her with his hands and said:
-Why do you want to kill you? We can spend all life together-
-No, we can’t. You know it, you have known it since we met for the first time.-
The two lovers took a long knife, pierced their right shoulder deathly and spent their last moment together on the floor until death came.
