… We sat on the parapet and were silent. Downstairs, dissecting yesterday’s puddles, puzzled and gloomy townspeople hurried somewhere. Outdoors – Autumn. For eight weeks now, a carefree, cozy summer has been replaced by a lonely, tired person in a coat of yellowed leaves and rain. The wind drove defenseless, anxious clouds across the sky and tore them to shreds, scattering them around … No … Everything is different in summer.
