Ivana: Heading North

IVANA

Heading North

---

Head north
can't stop-keep going
it starts to rain.
   you're family have dogs?
-yes-
  use them?
-yes-
  thank God for the rain then.
-aren't we going to stop for the rain?-
  no
time passes.
it's night.
  I know a place nearby,
  just another mile.
we arrived.
Just one room, the bikes put in the back,
a curtain separates it into two rooms,
there's a doorbell inside, I ring it.
-what's that for?-
  so she knows,
  you got extra clothes?
-yes-
he nods towards the backpack,
I remember him picking it up when we left.
  you've been planning to leave
-yes-
A knock at the door.
A voice:
-the willow sits-
  near water running, I answer
-tears of the captured-
  run free, I finish
the door opens.
-it's you!-

check back tomorrow for the next scene!
