Epilogue
(three days later)
The Stranger opened his eyes and found himself in a room with a white ceiling. He tried to get up and a young girl ran up to him.
“Sweet face, but she has suffered a lot.”
“Well, how are you? Totally awake?” she asked.
“Who are you?” he could hardly untangle his dried lips.
“What’s going on with you? I am your friend,” the girl looked in astonishment into his eyes.
“Why am I here?”
“Don’t you remember anything?” it seemed to her that now he will smile and they together will laugh at this silly joke.
He tried to remember, but a sudden attack of headache made him refuse this idea.
A short man showed up in the room, he was laming in one leg a little bit.
“Why haven’t you died?” one couldn’t say by his tone whether he was happy or disappointed.
“Will he get better?” asked the girl.
“He has a short memory loss. Amnesia. May be that’s right. What will he do with such memories? Do you want to stay with him? You will have to make the acquaintance again.”
“That’s OK. I love him.”
“I will help you. You will never experience a need. The girl happily fell on the neck of her benefactor.”
“There is a beautiful girl in the hall, she is crying. Is she my friend too?” inquired the patient.
A tall woman has peeped into the room; she smiled through tears and waved with her hand at him.
“Hi, Stranger. I am so happy that you are alive.”
“What has happened to me?”
“It’s all over,” she assured him. “Isn’t it, Seer?”
“I don’t know, I don’t know. It seems to me that everything has only started. What do you think, Stranger?” the Seer looked fixedly at him, with screwed up eyes.
The patient has raised himself half from his bed and felt something like a mild wind touching his head. He smiled:
“Yes. Everything has only started.”
