In a cozy cafe listening to you talk to your friends.
I would stop stirring the one satchel of sugar I just added to my steaming cup of coffee, and not touch the slice of tiramisu -- however peckish I felt at the moment and would continue to listen with interest.
It is open aired cafe and I am not really eaves dropping, it is more like a TV screen on the wall that is showing a scene with commentary.
So who is this talented raconteur I am listening to? , is she a celebrity ? or even a movie star. She talks effortlessly from light heated stories, to serious reflections, and then dark themes with deep gravity.
It is then, I would be reminded of scary stories, horror films which would briefly make me shudder.
So, Why am I revisiting an old scary nightmare ? I would catch myself and be aware that just I drifted to the past. I would snap out of it and quickly eat my cake.
I would wonder, is she a regular, and would I see her talk again -- maybe not, I would learn later from her talks that she is a tireless traveler and still has a thousand invisible cities to explore like Italo Calvino's novel.
