London Bridge Train Station
We lived for a week at Clock House, still part
of Greater London. We had to head always to London Bridge station to catch the
train that took almost 30 minutes for it to arrive. We passed through 8 or 9 stations.
One day we got lost because of me. We had to get off irredeemably at 10 o'clock
at night in an extremely dangerous slum, we found a gang similar to those in
New York in the '80s. They were like five boys between the ages of 17 and 22,
with a girl and a bulldog.
Next to us was a family, which seemed a little
lost too, the difference was that they could go unnoticed by the gang. Without
an internet connection, I felt the worst in the world, I felt like we were
going to stay there, that we were going to have little fortune to go out
unscathed and get little chances to get to Helen's house with her husband and
nephew Nicholas. I was going to be the guilty one to give an end to the best
story in the world, for the reason that that day we had gone to Abbey Road and
the Tate Museum, my soul was infested with light, until that moment.
Luckily the gang just gazed deep into us, we
were the tourists, not even if we had shown a tranquil mood, would it be
possible for us to be saved and feign not to be foreigners. Our train arrived
after 10 minutes. My pal sat in front of me and so I did the same so as to
watch our backs.
We get to the right station, we jumped off the
train shaking or at least I was about to collapse, we walked among that dreary
London suburb, at night the place seemed as if you were inside a horror movie.
The slightest noise scared away, the shadows of the lost and nocturnal emerged such
gripping gelidity. In your head you could create a sort of story in which you
just wait for any signal to run with your heart beating so strongly, so much
that it is possible for it to come out of your mouth.
We arrived at 10, Helen was already waiting for
us. My head wanted to explode, all my body as well. We went to bed and the next
day, it all become a dream again.
