Meet

The first night they found each other at the ends of two worlds.

There was a white line stretched to the infinity.They stood on either side of the line, within their own worlds, observing. Around them was the darkness wrapped in many hidden identities, unknown. Alternatively, discreet sound of metal sheet dragging along concrete walls faded in and out. She tried to squeeze a smile:

Text fired up above their heads, flashing. Light burned up their faces in a split second but soon zipped back into total darkness.

:)


He smiled back though.
A long pause before the next encounter of flashing text:
What are we going to do?

She stared very hard at the dissolving darkness. But nothing pinged back.

他們發現彼此的第一個晚上，中間隔著一條白線延伸到無止盡的另一端。他們各自站在兩個世界的盡頭，用自己的文字觀察著。周圍深沈的黑暗包覆許多不知名的身分，偶爾傳來金屬在水泥牆上拖曳的嘎嘎聲響，她試著擠出一點笑容：


;>


文字在他們頭上閃起，像一朵煙火。臉蛋在瞬間燃起，隨即就沉沒在完全的黑暗中。


:) 

他也回了一個笑臉。
中間有好一段沉默直到下一次文字閃爍的交會：


我們該怎麼辦？

她用力凝視逐漸溶解光線的黑暗，卻沒有東西回傳過來。
