The thump of the ball echoed in the whole corridor of the hotel as little Atifa ran behind it. The yellow smiley ball cycled and stopped in front of a room. As Atifa's tiny hands reached out for the ball, a squall of Algor wind hit her face and burbled in her ears. Inside the room, the curtains rived apart revealing the snow-covered land outside. Atifa stood there, almost enchanted, and gazed at the window, her grey eyes never blinking.
"Atifa!" her mother blared from behind. Cradling Atifa's younger brother in her arms, she questioned her," where have you been Atifa? I can't handle you and your brother at the same time. You must be more responsible now. I can't go running after you every two minutes. Zubeen has been crying since morning." Saying this, she took Atifa by her arm and pulled her up. As they both walked away, Atifa looked behind. A pale hand emerged from the darkroom and grabbed the ball. Her mother's constant rambling faded, and a silent whistle replaced it. Atifa looked ahead and walked away with her mother, while the whistle still blaring in her ears.
