The Girl Reaches for the Stars

"In a world where everything can be stolen, sold and lost, it may happen that you suddenly find something that you are not looking for."The stars, like a scattering of beads, were so close over the boy and illuminated everything around him. The boy ate so quickly, as if he was afraid that the girl sitting opposite would change her mind about feeding him. It was evident that he was trying to restrain himself, but it turned out badly. Stuffing his stomach with unfamiliar delicacies, Karl did not lose his vigilance, and although he smiled at his savior from time to time, he was ready to break loose and run at any moment. He had spotted the escape route earlier, while they were descending from the parking lot. The important madame sat gravely, holding her purse in her small and refined hands. But this passivity of hers did not at all convince Karl of safety.
