Forest of Gif-sur-Yvette, The last day of Summer 2020 France
"Oh, Estrange, still an ambush!" uttered a happy voice in my headset. "I love it!" Sasakawa continued, and I imagined his eyes stalking a prey in the vicinity.
I sighed. And suddenly, my breathing quickened.
The road was winding down, and after continued in a straight line. I did not know how fast I drove, but it did not matter - I could not die. The trees paraded, ghostly, on both sides of the road, and the sun - an abyssal red eye - took one last look towards us through the branches.
"Finally!" Sasakawa said with a sigh.
Yes, finally!
Twilight.
The most appropriate time of the day for us. The one where light and shadows blend and where reality becomes myth.
