    “She’s not coming back, is she?” Daniel looked at me expectantly. I was the star of the show, as it were, and so I should know better than anyone. Only I didn’t. We’d been stuck here for weeks, or maybe months. It was hard to tell. The sun hadn’t moved in the sky. It was a deranged thought, but I was certain it hadn’t. Daniel stood in front of the fireplace holding a glass of merlot. I sat in a red wing chair facing him.

    The sun is setting down on the face of the lake which makes it glistens. The lake glistens brightly on the face of Saani as she smokes away her gushing thoughts. Lakes are the most beautiful sight to look at during winter is what her thoughts are predominantly enraptured with.

She squishes her cigarette butt aggressively on to her pocket mirror as if the cigarette had never existed.Saani enters a small cafe named “Shunya”, a ver...73Zone door
