…Once grief was replaced by an overwhelming sense of absence, there were no tears left to shed. Once the emptiness filled the quiet space where grief had taken hold, there was no room for anything else. We sat there motionless; without words, without tears, without hope. A place devoid of life where hearts still beat. A place where, in spite of everything, a pulse can be felt. Time was the only source of solace in an infinitely hopeless time.

…The moon is spreading its glow over the dark sky. The light creates sharp shadows on the ground, and only now it strikes me that the night is here. Strangely, I haven’t felt sleepy at all. I haven’t thought a second about going to bed.

…The words pour out of me. I talk about all the adventures, trips to places I never got to follow along. Cities I have only heard stories about. New York, Paris, Tokyo, Stockholm. About the sounds that echoed through that lonely house. The slow, steady drip of the tap and distant laughter coming from the playground where I never played. The feeling of bitterness that set in from some unknown place. I talk about the map with the letters and finally, my own journey here.

…When I was young, we had a picture of the tower hanging in the kitchen. A black and white photo of people working tirelessly on a structure whose very idea was condemned as utter folly. When I was older, I read about the tower in a book and realized that it was quite close to my grandmother’s village. We went there together and took in the view. It was nothing like the photographs. That was the week before we emptied out her house and sorted out her soap collection.

…“Of all my skirts, this is my favourite”, said my grandmother, smiling through her green eyes. “It’s a vintage Dior, ma petite puce”. We stood side by side in the midst of the clothing collection that gave her so much pride. The room is filled with a strong scent of mothballs and soap. “This will all be yours. You can have it when you are a little older and go out dancing with your copines”. I didn’t want to tell her that I was never invited on such occasions, that I was always alone. I didn’t want to make her sad. It was only later in life that I learned loneliness is something you feel, not something you are.

…Suddenly, someone takes my hand. We look exactly alike.
“We’re going to jump”, she says, with a wide grin. On the count of three.
It’s like looking at myself in a mirror. But there is no mirror. Like a twin.
“What’s your name?” I ask.
“My name is Elba, just like you”.

…I turn to stare out over the water and wonder if I really have the strength to go on. Then I see something reflected on the surface. A sad girl. But beyond those sad eyes, under the ripple of the water’s surface, I see something completely different. Endless meadows, lush trees and wild animals grazing. I long to get to that place, and I know there is only one way.

…“I’m thinking about that elephant”, says Elba. “The one that carried the whole world on his shoulders. With heavy, lumbering steps, he swept steadily forward without losing sight of his goal. Years of carrying the weight of the world made time go by slowly, but he eventually found peace and self-awareness. The elephant helps me find my way back.”

…The lilt of Edith’s voice helps Elba relax as she quietly sorts her bookmarks by size. She is no longer afraid to face the solitude, but it drags her down. She cradles her cheeks in her hands and drifts away. With her eyes closed, she travels back in time to the country that nourishes her, the one place she felt brave and ultimately found what she had long been searching for.

…We’re falling, falling, falling. Just as we’re about to hit the water, the cloth of our kimonos catch the wind, and we land gently in the sea. All giggly, I fill my lungs with air before diving into the blue. Then I notice I’m alone again, but I don’t feel lonely. I swim side by side with sparkling animals. Oh, I’d forgotten how much I love to swim. And now I’ve somehow gained my energy back.
