He walked hurriedly and closed the door behind him. The atmosphere was stuffy, as if the oxygen that existed had ceded its place in fear. He blinked to adapt his vision at the twilight which prevailed. He walked a few more steps inside and looked around.

                The shelter was a long corridor around 500 meters, and a width of three to four meters. In the background there was a ramification to the left. It looked like a burrow. The walls were consisted of cold, grey concrete and steel. Τhere were no windows, only something like grates on the ceiling, which served as air vents. The only link to the outside world was the door by which he had entered a little while before.

                He watched hundreds of people, of all ages, crammed next to each other. Mothers with eyes full of despair, holding their babies in their…

I’m afraid of people

When the primitive feeling inside them awakens

I’m afraid of people

When their eyes fill up with hatred and enmity

I’m afraid of people

When their hand instead of holding pen, are holding gun

I’m afraid of people

When their words are hiding poison

Dread their need

For sovereignty which deprives freedom

I fear for our future

Could it be gloomier than our past?

Φόβος

Φοβάμαι τους ανθρώπους

Όταν το πρωτόγονο αίσθημα μέσα τους ξυπνά

Όταν στα λόγια τους κρύβεται δηλητήριο

Για κυριαρχία που στερεί την ελευθερία

Θλίβομαι  σκεπτόμενη

Τόσους αιώνες εξέλιξης που μοιάζουν μάταιοι

Φοβάμαι το μέλλον μας

Μήπως είναι πιο ζοφερό…

It was late, long after midnight, when Emily managed to fall asleep. After a short time, she completely immersed in the world of dreams.

During her dreamy wandering, in a remote place, she had an unexpected encounter. As she was hanging around aimlessly, lost among memories and images, she saw three angels seating at the shore of a teal lake. The landscape around them was blurred and faded. It looked like an old painting that was wounded from the ravages of time.

The image of the angels hardly reminded her, the form she had given them in her mind. Their appearance did not radiate anything like heavenly peace and tranquility. She saw sadness and pain in their eyes. Bitter despair was painted on their gloomy faces. Their music did not glorify happiness and peacefulness, but it was a low wailing, filled with the most mournful colors. There was not a…
