THE LITTLE LIGHT
The river carries him away, where beauty is soft and hollow. The darkness swallows him down in the realm of fragments of stars. And bites from a deformed ghost. The pale insect lies. And the scorpion stings if you want the truth. The sunflowers muddle the soul. The forest only breeds doubts. A lost little light guides him. But it was the wind's fault. There is a bank no one can see. A shore between sky and earth, scented with jasmine. Daylight hides the way. They must cross that lake. At night...
ROPESGLADE
That night the Captain was taking a walk. He did every time he was in a port.
He saw that dog half dead. He took him. And called him Argo. But the dog couldn't see with his right eye any more. So the Captain tore a piece from an old sheet. And put it over his eye."
In one of their travels, Argo saw a village of beetles destroyed by an apocalypse of fire. Ulysses hid under a tin can. Argo found him. Ulysses told him he prefers to be called Nobody. And they become forever friend.
The other survivors are shipwrecked at Ropesglade. The place everything comes back to. One way. Or another.
