The freezing wind welcomed me again, that evening, under the darkest sky. No still nor falling star could I see, as street lamps were guiding my way home. Only I was grinding my teeth for only I was around, craving the warmth of my house. Suddenly, as I passed by, I saw people shutting their windows and their front door.
"Are you afraid of the criminal I am not?" I asked, but no response arrived. Not immediately, at least.
I started running from the cold embrace, until street lamps fell asleep, leaving me in the dark.
Houses, street lamps, even the almighty Milky Way left me behind. My trembling hand reached the phone, and slowly I lit my way.
The road, not my path.
