Three Versions of Themselves

by: Hichem Karoui

This happened somewhere, some time…

 

The man, etched with time’s lines, sat alone on a park bench, a silent silhouette against the city’s shimmering sprawl. The woman, a kaleidoscope of colours in a vibrant sundress, walked by, her laughter echoing like wind chimes. Their eyes met, a momentary spark in the vast canvas of urban indifference.

He was a writer, his heart a worn dictionary filled with untold stories. She was a dancer, her soul a melody-seeking expression. The night, their shared witness, cloaked them in a cool embrace, whispering possibilities.

Hesitantly, he offered a weathered yet warm smile. She, drawn by an intangible pull, stopped, her laughter fading into a curious tilt of her head. Words, hesitant at first, spilt from his lips, painting tales of forgotten dreams and stardust cities. Her eyes, wide and luminous, reflected his stories, her laughter returning, now laced with the rhythm of his words.

They walked, the city lights blurring into a backdrop for their shared narrative. He spoke of emotions lost in ink. She danced with her feet barely touching the ground, her movements echoing the unspoken yearnings in his voice. The night deepened, weaving threads of connection between their disparate lives.

He found solace in her vibrant spirit, his words gaining an unusual confidence. She discovered a depth in his quiet wisdom, her movements taking on a new poignancy. The stars, indifferent observers, twinkled their approval.

As dawn approached, painting the sky in hues of hope, they reached a bridge overlooking the awakening city. A comfortable silence settled, a shared secret held in the space between them. He offered a hesitant goodbye, a worn book held out, its pages filled with the story they had created in the night.

She took it, her fingers brushing his, a spark again. With a smile that promised untold chapters, she turned and danced away, the rising sun painting her dress in gold. He watched, his heart lighter than it had been in years, the melody of her laughter echoing in his soul.

The man, the woman, and the night. A chance encounter, a symphony of words and movement, a story etched in the memory of two hearts, forever touched by the magic of a shared nocturnal dance.

At the same time, somewhere else, Clara…

 

Elias sat alone on a park bench, his weathered face a roadmap of past experiences. The city lights twinkled around him, an indifferent tapestry against the velvet expanse of the night sky. In the distance, a melody of laughter drifted to his ears, drawing his gaze to a woman, a vibrant splash of colour in a flowing sundress. Her name was Clara, her soul a kaleidoscope of emotions expressed in the graceful sweep of her arms and the tilt of her head.

 

Elias, a writer with a heart full of untold stories, was an observer, a chronicler of lives lived and emotions felt. Clara, a dancer, was a creator, her body a language expressing unspoken desires and hidden joys. The night, their silent co-conspirator, held them together in a cocoon of shared solitude.

 His words, hesitant at first, flowed like ink from a weathered pen, painting tales of forgotten dreams and the echoes of a distant past. Her laughter, initially light and carefree, softened, taking on the nuance of his stories. They walked, the city lights blurring into a backdrop for their whispered conversations. He found solace in her vibrancy, his words gaining strength with each shared smile. She, in turn, discovered a depth in his quiet wisdom, her movements imbued with a newfound maturity.

As dawn approached, painting the sky in soft pastels, they reached a bridge overlooking the awakening city. A comfortable silence settled; lingering between them was an unspoken story. With a gesture both hopeful and hesitant, Elias offered her a worn leather-bound book, its pages filled with the tale they had woven together under the cloak of the night.

 

Clara’s fingers brushed his as she accepted the gift, a spark of connection flickering between them. Like the rising sun painting her dress in shades of gold, her smile held the promise of unwritten chapters. With a final glance, she turned, her silhouette dissolving into the day’s embrace, the melody of her laughter echoing in his ears.

 Elias, the observer, had become a participant, his heart lighter than it had been in years. The night, their fleeting stage had witnessed the meeting of two souls, leaving behind a story etched in memory, a melody composed of words and movement, a professional encounter transformed by the magic of a shared dance under the stars.

Still, at the same time, somewhere else, Flora…

 

Weathered by years spent chronicling the human condition, Elias sat alone on a park bench. The cityscape, a tapestry of neon and steel, stretched before him, indifferent to his solitude. Flora, a kaleidoscope of vibrant colours in a sundress, danced past her laughter, a fleeting melody in the urban symphony. Their eyes met a brief connection sparking in the vast anonymity.

He was a weaver of words, his soul a lexicon of untold narratives. She is a sculptor of movement, her essence a yearning expressed in the language of dance. The night, their silent confidante, draped them in its cool embrace, whispering promises of untold stories.

With a hesitant smile, Elias offered a glimpse into his world, his voice seasoned yet gentle. Flora, captivated by an invisible thread, stopped, her laughter fading into a curious tilt of her head. Words, hesitant at first, flowed from him, painting tales of forgotten dreams and cities bathed in stardust. Her eyes, wide and luminous, mirrored his stories, her laughter returning, now imbued with the rhythm of his words.

They walked, the city lights blurring into a backdrop for their shared narrative. He spoke of emotions etched in ink, finding solace in her vibrant spirit. Her movements, infused with newfound depth, echoed the unspoken yearnings in his voice. The stars, indifferent observers, twinkled their approval.

As dawn approached, painting the sky in hues of promise, they reached a bridge overlooking the awakening city. A comfortable silence settled, a shared secret held in the space between them. He offered a book, its pages filled with the story they had woven in the night, his heart lighter than it had been in years.

Flora took it, her fingers brushing his, a spark of shared understanding. With a smile that held the promise of untold chapters, she turned and danced away, the rising sun painting her dress in gold. Elias watched, the melody of her laughter echoing in his soul.

The night had brought together a writer and a dancer, their paths crossing in a symphony of words and movement. A story etched in their memories, a testament to the magic that can bloom even in the most unexpected encounters.
