Style Exercise
Night Walk
Notation
Late night, I could hear the echoes of my shoes, tapping on a paving stone in the silent downtown. I was in a hurry from the antique cafe to a bus-stop. The last bus to the suburb was nearly caught, I could still saw the malicious tail-lights of it, taking a corner. The mild night was so refreshing and beckoning for taking a walk. The cafe made me ware. I put on some music. The events of the day suddenly disappeared from my head, giving place to the smells and colours of the spring night. Dawn seemed far right there, but I didn’t mind. The Moon followed me on my way back home.
Surprises
Do you know what happened with me last night? How incredibly empty and silent were the streets in the downtown! Where did I go? I was in a hurry to catch the bus, but guess what! Of course I missed it, it was so unbelievable, I could see its lights! The bus was winding in the cross-roads! Can you imagine I didn’t mind it that much? While I was concentrating on not being late, I didn’t realize how refreshing and wonderful the weather was. You would never believe the different soft scents of trees and lights you can enjoy late night! Later, I found something in my bag! That was the only thing I need for my journey! It was my I-pod stuffed with music! And then I discovered a guide joined me! Guess who? The Moon!
Dream
I felt so stressed and nervous. I remember everything was dark and shady, I was running in the empty streets, listening the knocking of my shoes. I couldn’t move on and this put me in a paddy. It was like a slow motion. Suddenly I appeared in the bus-stop. The bus was far away, it was sneering like one of those nerve-racking cartoons from the kid’s channel’s program. Then a mood was changed, everything became so peaceful, it was spring with blooming trees. I felt myself floaty, I was walking. The smells were dazzling; I heard music coming from somewhere. I looked up and I saw the moon winked and told me that just took my time; the sun was still sleeping fast.
Precision
On Saturday, the 5th April in 2008 at 11:48p.m., I was walking fast 120 metres in the downtown. I was in a hurry to catch the 15 metres long, red, blue and white Mercedes bus of the 24-line. I reached the 6th bus-stop of the line at 11:55p.m., the bus departed at 11:54p.m. I decided to take the 30 minutes long journey on my 2 foot. The 5dl coffee I drunk made me 100 percent awake. I put on my music; I chose the 3rd song on the list. The temperature was 10 C°, wind blew was 6mph, pressure 1016mb, the relative humidity 33 percent. I looked up and I saw the Moon 384000 km far away.
Hesitation
I’m not sure about the story; I cannot really remember the details of it. When and where it happened exactly? Was it in the morning, afternoon or night; winter or summer, maybe spring in the city-centre or the suburb? I went out somewhere. It was a public place with lot of people; in a restaurant or pub? In a party? In a cafe? I wanted to take an underground, or not, maybe it was a tram, perhaps bus. The point was that I missed it. Was I furious? Maybe It was fine for me because I could call a taxi in the rain. But I can imagine that the weather could be pleasure as well, so in this case I could go home on foot. I remember that something was in the air, something magical. Maybe it was a fresh snow rustle under my feet, or the lights of the stars, perhaps the spring trees in bloom. I was watching something up on the sky. Was it a bird? Rainbow? Solar eclipse? The Moon? Was I alone?

Dear Réka,
Your style exercise so good. I like the precision part. It's so funny when you write about the Moon. Congrats! :)
Well, my favourite is the "your dream":). When I was writing mine, I enjoyed the dream part very much, I was dreaming about a sanded seashore and sunshine...:)
