The Child They Lost

While Anna's life was almost silent, the same was not true for Ladislas or other people she knew in the past.

He heard rumors in the corridors about a former student who rolled around behind the building and smoked weed. How the girl had been a spy all along. The thing about woke teenagers going to university was that they thought everything was a conspiracy. Well, with Anna it sort of was, but not as twisted as they thought it to be. 

Only Marie approached Ladislas one fine evening as he was packing up for the day. Ladislas heard a knock on the door and allowed a bored "come in" to whoever was on the other side.
