The Long Weekend / Il Fine Settimana Lungo #spookysaturday episode 3

You don't remember entering the raffle but the kind old woman, Gwendolyn, on the phone assured you you had. How else would she have your details? You had been hesitant at first but she explained everything to you - the history of the island and its castle - all off-grid except for one ancient landline in the kitchen. How it was used by her family as private hunting grounds, the transportation there by ferry and bringing supplies for the weekend, - by the end it was like talking to an old friend and you just couldn't say no.
The crossing there was interesting. Was it seasickness or was the uneasy feeling coming from the ferryman? He wouldn't look you in the eye and spent all his time muttering under his breath, ignoring you. Was he praying? "Bring another one"? Huh?
At least the castle was comfortable. Exploring the island, finally having some peace and quiet after all these hard months was much needed.
Sunday evening, the landline rings.
"I'm sorry dear but the ferry isn't coming for a while"
You inquire if that means a few hours or tomorrow.
"... I'm sorry dear but the ferry isn't coming."
You are confused.
"We still use it as hunting grounds, you know."
The line goes dead.

Sharing my life online

A while ago, I shared a post about living online (Trying to live online). And I keep thinking about it... I don't have too many friends, but the ones I have, I consider to be very good ones! 💜 And then, there is my phone, where all my "pocket friends" are. People that I consider friends, people that I care about, people that I'll probably never meet... My online friends. 🌹 I don't have a partner. I live with Arwen, which is nice, but it's definitely different than living with a person. And while I enjoy being on my own, doing my own things, living my own life... Sometimes I can feel alone, lonely even (Not lonely, but alone…, and I miss someone to share my life with. And I guess that's where all my social media comes in. I'm trying to make a difference to this world, I'm trying to "matter" in a way, and my brain tells me that I should do that by sharing stuff online. […]

Lights and Shadows / Luci e Ombre
#spookysaturday

From your window you see the street lamp across the road is flickering. Bit weird. You've never seen it do that before. Wait... You see a figure. Is that a person? No. It's just the flickering. No, hold on, it is a person. They'll catch their death out there! It's so cold. Wait, those "Missing" posters around the neighbourhood for that kid - What if it's him? You have to go out and check. God, it's been days, he might be hurt! You walk briskly towards the street lamp. The air is freezing. You get closer "Hey! Are you okay?" "Hello! Do you need any help?". The figure turns towards you. Your blood runs colder than the air around you. It stares. It's not the missing kid. It's the reason he is missing. Oh God. How fast can you run? How fast can it run?

Off You Go / Via, Si Parte
#spookysaturday

3:00 am. Nobody is around to pick you up and drop you home. There is only one very dimly lit path that can take you there. The mist makes the icy air damp and makes it harder to see what is ahead of you. Is that a person on the path? No, it must be like a sign or something, right? What if it is a person? You need to get home - but will you be going there alone?

"#Social #Cocooning" - the "new #desire for #solitude" or "#cultivated #aloneness"

It is apparently this new desire, at the more or less freely selected #loneliness, as cultivated being #alone, the so-called "Social Cocooning" as new #future #trend. This current "#Zeitgeist #phenomenon" I would like to go for given cause therefore once in the following essay in the context of a social-theoretical analysis on the trace.

“Un pobre caminante de dolor”
Nunca había explicado esta imagen.
Está fotografía de mi autoría es una de las que más me ha gustado en años, porque logra plasmar un momento cotidiano y a la vez oculto de la sociedad urbana donde cada dia es una búsqueda de cobijo y de las formas subsistir en la jungla de cemento.
