Afra and Gervassi: Timeout
Hanna’s lips were thin and pressing, much like the hands that gathered fabric at the small of Gervassi’s back. Hanna’s lips asked questions where Afra’s had always given answers. Gervassi couldn’t say a word. He looked at her hands; they invited him to a life or travel, of whimsy, of tranquil chaos.

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR HOUSE UNTIL WE SAY SO! WE ARE TRYING OUR BEST TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AS SOON AS WE CAN! TILL THEN, STAY SAFE AND BEWARE!”We were as dumbfounded as if someone stabbed us with a knife. No one spoke a single word until I accide...
