The mad man walked on, uttering
unintelligible curses at the stone walls of the tunnel. There was heavy rain
outside, and it was beginning to get cold within. In the distance, a train was
coming, chugging along noisily through the tracks. He wanted to cry, but he
could not find tears. He wanted to shout, but he had no voice. Most of all, he
wanted to talk to someone, to anyone, but he had lost his words.
They were walking away very fast, from the
several eyes chasing them. He had clasped her hand very tight, and he was
almost dragging her through the tunnel. Not that she minded, though. Enjoying
every moment of their bliss, she realized how cold his hands were. Was he a
little worried, to be holding on to her? She was beginning to wonder, and then
she saw the steps. He noticed it too, and their gait became slower. He
looked at her with a playful smile, and let go of her hands. She must have been
waiting for it, for the moment he left her, she darted away to the steps to the
top of the tunnel. Not before stealing a look at him, ofcourse.
Outside,It was raining heavily.
