\'Its coming\'

A trace of faint smile crept on the face of a bearded old man, wrinkles on

his face didn\'t look bad, they complimented him, giving him an aura of ancientness and

that of wisdom.

But the smile, it gave strange feelings, as though the whole life of this old man was

contained with in, this one smile. Happiness, sadness, madness, all of them perfectly

merged together, to put a final show.

Still the strangest feature of this man were his eyes, being the most common, brownish

shade was of little worth in this strangeness, what stuck out was, his refusal to blink,

his eyes radiated something, which was definitely not suitable for one of his age.

As a matter of fact, maybe for the very first time in his life, his eyes shined with

unmatched fierceness, staring like an animal which had gone hungry for all his life and

had to die, yet in hunger.

\'So you are my ride? Heh, come lets go already, I don\'t like crowds\'

\'Mommy, mommy, why is grand dad sleeping?\' wearing a cute pink dress, a little girl around

five years old was asking that, clearly the curious little creature was quite surprised

by her grand dad sleeping.

\'Weep...weep, sweetie!, its night, everybody sleeps at night, weep....dont you even know

that?\'the quite young looking woman said that, her face changed faster than the

commercials on tv, while she was trying to convince her daughter.

\'No, you lie! Grand dad never sleeps, he only does on Sunday. Today he promised to tell

me the tale of Cinderella\'

\'Just go to your room, your dad will be coming home soon, you know how he will get, if he

sees you up so late at night?\'

At this time, her face compared to near past, looked much more serious and strict. Even

her posture changed from a slightly bent position to as straight as a tree.

Pointing at the door she said once again, in this new found strict tone of hers \'Go!\'

\'Yay, Yay! Daddy\'s coming\' Saying that the little kid, hugging tightly her little teddy

bear ran, screaming in joy towards her room. Just as she was about to go in to her room,

she turned back and face her mom.

Since the hall in between two rooms was not very large. both of them could see each other

due to the open door. The little girl, bent down, and stuck her red tongue out, showing it

to her mother. Doing that she quickly ran for it, closing shut her door.

\'Dad...you must stay strong, I am coming\'

The words drifted in winds, distorted by the sound of air crashing against the hard surface

of car, which was being currently driven to its limits. Even the sound of the car, indicated

its miserable position, but without a single regards spared towards it, the man seated

raged towards his goal.
