The Library - Sixth Scene
Manage episode 374034281 series 3341340
The crickets were loud in the night air, Gwen never realized there were so many insects in the desert, and their combined noise was loud enough to pierce through the gasps of the fire and the monotonous rhythm of the conversation, slowed down by the smokes and the tequila.
No. 4 wielded a stick with which he kept poking at the fire, absentminded, and he looked as if he had retreated into a world of his own, the world behind his eyes, to ponder on the mysteries of existence undisturbed. He smiled a sibylline smile into the distance, which made Gwen think that world of his, behind his eyes, must have been pretty wonderful.
“Why do you say you were The Library?” she asked abruptly and regretted disturbing his contemplation the moment the words left her lips.
He turned around to face her, the smile still lighting up his face.
