Midnight….I had just come out of a movie (Saturno Contro)… I was on the main road, ready to go across, but waiting for the traffic lights to turn green….the light was red…I was feeling the cold wind spreading on my face; cars passing by in front of me with an ultimate speed. All of a sudden I imagined to throw myself in front of those cars…it was a thought just for a second. But it made me realize that the difference between life and death is only that of a second. And that difference becomes meaningless if we don’t have the people we love and loved by in our lives. The light finally turned green and I crossed the street to take a cab. The wind had stopped blowing my hair but the memory of that thought still ruffled my heart.
