1 The florest

Looking up at the sky, he could see the gray glow of the moon through the clouds in a wavy shape. It was an extremely pale light compared to the city lights illuminating the wet city streets, giving a special air to that monotonous Lusigon night. In one of Lusigon's forests, a young scientist was walking calmly through the dense snow that fell frantically on the muddy forest floor. he couldn't wait for the night

He looked at the starry sky, admiring that unique view, being a night full of hope

Fat and hurried footsteps can be heard together by the scientist, walking slowly and hiding that horrifying pitch, they hold apparatuses to look into space, along with some soft drinks and healthy foods.

"The business will start shortly, we had better get our pens and papers," said the man who accompanied the scientist, as he sat on a long sawn tree trunk, throwing sticks on the moist forest floor. "You're much better at accounts than I am, so I guess I won't worry too much about it" adds the same man with a tired smile.

The scientist sighed as he took out his notepad and a black pen lightly worn from overuse, making sure not to forget anything that was really necessary. man , with a quick movement , Zymer takes a match from his pocket , which is soon lit and thrown on top of that big pile of dry tree

They looked at the sky, while doing some calculations on the sheets, silent, just enjoying that moment "I think it will pass around 24h" said the scientist while looking at his partner's idle gaze "Okay, let's wait a bit, but I I don't have all day" said the companion, taking a large piece of tuna sandwich. Those were the last words spoken before a great and uncomfortable silence took over, making the situation far more gruesome and macabre than before. No sound was heard , the light was almost non - existent , if not for the fire that warmed the cold and snow - covered skin of the scientists

A cold breeze hit the men 's faces , and with his departure , the time was also gone , having already passed 3 hours since their last conversation

White rubbed his stomach with satisfaction, looking at his empty food box "It was a good meal, I think I can concentrate on my calculations now" thought and he pulled himself out of that damp trunk. He took a model reflector telescope, quickly replacing his lens for a cleaner one.

The sky was completely dark and bright , with lots of stars , except for the fact that his gaze only fell on the tall towers that reached the clouds along with large and endless neon signs and posters , huge televisions and billboards , the stars were very bright , but totally replaced by the technologies of the city

"This visual pollution," he muttered angrily, holding up his telescope.

If he squinted his eyes tightly he could see some planets and stars shining in the dark sky

"That's the Big Dipper, over there is Alpha Centauri, over there is Venus-

A ray of light shot across the sky, illuminating the forest. Then another one flew by, then others came, the sky was lit by those astronomical fireworks. There was one brighter than the rest, which walked faster than any one "A shooting star" spoke his friend fascinated looking at the sky

"It's just a meteor, if you keep talking about these imaginative things, I doubt the boss will be happy" Zymer said sincerely to his friend

A cold look was cast by his friend as a sigh escaped his mouth "Stop taking everything seriously"
