Pandora’s Diary

A white coat embraced the city neither, the suns warmth could not pierce the cold.

The man had a stern expression, was wearing a suit in the cold climate, and held a briefcase in his hand. He looks up above and felt the cold touch of snowy petals.

”I hate weather like these, ” he says in a disappointed tone.

The man takes a stroll through the busy streets of the city of Mhediv. He had passed by people selling edible goods, merchandise from another city, or even from another country, but the man was unfazed.

The man had other plans.

Then, he looks at his watch and says, ”Oh, would you look at the time? It is time for me to meet her once again. I must haste. ”
