The smokers area.




Wednesday 10th of October The cat appears, rubs it's head upon the trousers, just put on. The cat is expecting a dollop of cat food upon it's green plate in the kitchen. go to the kitchen with the cat in attention.  Open the refrigerator. There is an opened can in there, but it is empty. so open a new tin, put the spoonful of food upon the plate.. The cat feeds.
The alley is foggy again today, the whole town is covered in fog. Fog ,the thought of which, speaks of mysteries where mysteries are unlikely The fog is thicker down by the river and in around the deserted bus stop. The vista is reduced to an area around the bus stop an area glowing with the light diffused spreading from the street lights. see the headlights and the destination board of the bus approach out of the fog, then the whole vehicle becomes visible.
 Just as the bus arrives, the figure if the municipal man emerges from the fog. He has arrived just in time. Pay the driver with a ten Euro note, he has to give change today. The railway station is bright and glaring, the fog diffusing the light form the hallway inside, letting it spread over the large paved forecourt,
lighting the man standing alone with his cigarette. There is a square painted . upon the pavement, and a pillar ashtray in the centre.
The smokers area. Say good morning in passing Recognition by the woman in the cafe, she knows the order, an inquiring 'Large coffee' in German with an Italian accent.
The big man with the bald head and the beard takes the discount card. It is full today, so the coffee is free. He gives a new card, reaching over ihe counter, smiling. He is a friendly man, and man with a sense of humour.
