Mona went by the train station and was completely unable to orientate.She was looking for a flat the size of a bucket,supposedly around the corner from a famous cheese-pie restaurant.While walking slowly toward what in fact was a whisky bar serving some poor quality snacks,she noticed the back of a stranger walking ahead of her.
That man was jesus.
Serving cheese pies can be a fun activity,thought Guido in fluent italian.I must admit i prefer it to my previous job.
Guido used to be a sailor until he was 31.Up till that time he had worked on various positions on many ships,and his last job was at Marieke,a huge 20.000 tone bearing beast,part of an equally huge food company.When the company became the subject of an international food scandal (something to do with not only sick dead animals,but also some dead human body parts) Guido,along with thousands of others,found himself on land.A particular part of it to be precise,which is the street.
Guido was not Jesus.
He went on slicing the cheese pies as they got out of the oven and humming an italian song.Ever since he moved to Nowhere Inparticular he had this song come up often.Maybe he was feeling nostalgic,but he wasn't quite sure why; he had only spent very few years in italy and except for the quality of pasta he didn't remember anything good about it.
Well that's not entirely true.But he chose not to remember anything good about it,as he would anyway have to move around for a quite big part of his life.
'So that's that' said Guido in fluent english.'I'll take my break now' and wiped his hands.
He went out of the restaurant and lit a cigarette,while teasing a little lump that was growing just next to his left eye.He teased that lump a lot,specially when he was feeling the urge to leave a place for another...It was like his little getaway button,getting bigger a long with his desire to flee.Thats what he liked to think of it.
'out we go my dear' he whispered.
Mona was still lost,across the street from him,gawking at an old mans back.Guido noticed her because of the saliva dripping from her wide open mouth;it had formed a long transparent and shiny thread,slowly reaching the pavement and following the subtle direction of the summer breeze:she was also completely unaware of it of course.
Guido laughed while admiring that woman for her passionate looking,and decided to treat her with a slice of cheesepie.
