A black Mercedes made an acute right turn in a narrow country road. Headlights lighting up the dark path ahead. It was late February, but still, the sun sank into the horizon before five this evening. Moreover, today it felt like there was barely any sunlight the whole day. “Are you sure we are on the right path?” Eve worried. “Huh,” grunted Dave, irritated. This was the fifth time she had asked this question, and to be truthful, he was not sure. The GPS had been taking them in circles, and this God-forsaken inn was nowhere to be f...

10:01 p.m.Isle of WightThe corner café that serves coffee, juices, milkshakes, and some light bites was run by a skeletal crew – the young chef Leon (also the owner) and a very pregnant waitress, Alice, who serves the tables and occasionally makes the milkshakes.

He had a long talk with me last evening about my mental well-being, and he repeatedly asked me to leave the town for a few days and go somewhere. But how could I? My mind, heart, and soul were still trapped here with her memories. This will be the first Christmas in many years I will be spending it without her. The thought made my heart race, and panic started to set in. “It will do you some good,” my friend s...

He pulled his car into an empty alleyway hoping in this heavy snow laden street parking was permitted on this busy Christmas eve. Before getting out of the car he pondered whether he would need his laptop or should just go in with a novel. He had about an hour to kill and didn’t know whether he wanted to get some work done or just spend some time catching up on his reading, which he knew was lacking a lot. At the end he decided on neither and just got out of the car with his airpods in his ears and played his favourite Christmas tunes. ...
