Beatrice and Benedict

The Voice from nowhere guides us all the way to the unknown. Most of the time the fiction is interwoven with the reality in such a way that it takes our breath 'for a ride'. 


The two main characters are to meet eventually, under strange conditions. Benedict wanted madly to meet this girl, as he is preparing the 'magic medicine' for her leg to be cured. His place is a most interesting loft where he prepares his medicines in a most extraordinary way. His tiny room is full of colourful bottles, liquids, his laptop and so many other things. Paul, his best friend is the only one to allowed to enter his 'kingdom'. He uses his laptop a lot and through the small window of his room, as he watches time go by, he can see so many extraordinary things happening. Stars falling, leaving a magical shiny line behind, leaves changing colours which sometimes... speak to him in a most brilliant way. 


Singing exotic songs, when the wind blows, whispering his favourite poems when they shiver, or just listening to the absolute silence when they are still on the branches of the trees, looking up to the sky, like they are praying..... 


An extract from the story: 'Somebody is trying to pass through,' she thought and remained motionless with her eyes wide open. 'I just hope this is a lizard, even a snake, but not...the evil gang!' And the image of the two boys flooded her mind. The dialogue continued. 'You aren`t going to use a heave piece if stick, are you? said the first voice. And he added. 'All this just for a filthy carpet! You are definitely asking for trouble mate, you know that, don`t you?' 

The second voice kept quite and the first voice continued after a pause. 'If you hit her hard enough she will die in no time. You know... like my poor little bird. 

'Stop it you stupid! And anyway the hit will be just a soft one, so that she will be able to see stars in her dreams! That's all.' whispered the second voice sarcastically.
