11.3 The Wall

Imagine a wall. It’s grey and constant, it seems insuperable. You are standing there and you are looking at the wall. Your whole life you’ve fought and tried to negotiate it. And now you are standing here, bare trees behind you, the leaves already fallen. Someone has already swept them, but now they are distributed, in all directions, away with the wind. Snow is falling down, you shake. 
It’s really cold and you are standing here, alone in front of a drastic wall. Tears run down your pale face while you are desperately calling. “Help me!”, you’re calling. “Help me; I can’t do it on my own!” Snow is falling down, more and more, you’re not able to identify all you see because of the fog. 
Wait, you can hear something. Hopeful you are calling a second, a third time. The wall grows, it gets bigger and bigger. You are one step before giving up, now you’re screaming and crying, desperately, you haven’t got control of your voice anymore. Some seconds ago there was someone…
You have to concentrate yourself, now you can hear them, the voices which depart laughing. You’re not laughing with them, you’re alone. The sky gets dark, the wall comes closer. Help me! It’s difficult to breath. Your fingers are unable to move because of the coldness and your legs hurt. With your last power you try to call, a whispered, desperate, unheard “Help!”
