STORY

“You look sad, we go to the sunset now, you come too?”
I burst out laughing.

“C’mon, you go to the rocks with us.”
I don’t even know the guys, I just stopped them to ask for a lighter.

“The rocks seem far, in the middle of the sea…”
“No, no, we just walk in the water, it’s not deep, far from the people”

We reach the rocks and I sit in the middle, glancing furtively at their beautiful profiles. We watch the sun dying without talking.

He drinks a Russian beer, I smoke a Turkish cigarette and she eats a rose that she picked on the way to the beach.
“Roses can be eaten, you didn’t know?”
