alone in the bed today, silence. And no wish to get up, none at all.
alone in the flat today, the son and the wife are away, visiting his grandparents, her parents.
The cat remains, sitting at the end of the bed, purring.
Get up, make a slice of breakfast toast, and press a cup of coffee out of the Pavoni machine.
Read the news, power struggles, from chancellor to commision, from real estate dealers to president, from improver to autocrat.
Nothing has changed as far as human relations are concerned. For hundreds and hundreds of years.
Look out of the window. An early riser walks past, an old man with the shuffling gait of one plagued by a sore back. Watch him walk down the street towards the church.
Then comes the realisation that the one watching from the window still in his night clothes is the elder of the two.
