NO WAY OUT (Lot’s wife)
At the door entrance of the Cafe, make sure you are entire.
The door itself gets open, someone is going out, Amy’s got in.
The spirit gets in gently too, like a space shuttle landing on a new Planet. I’m running away into you. The door is getting closed.
Amy, the entire Amy is gettin’ in.
The sound of people having breakfasts. The staff is dealing with mugs and teapot, porcelain, kettles. Coffee machine is running crazy -seems like a steam train- the guy who washes dishes, and the water sink.
“Never forget the water sink, is where all the desires goes…”
The context is echoing
“ The toasts jumping out of the toaster, the weird objects and pics on the walls, the spinning fan on the ceiling, the smoke coming out from the coffee machine, someone pouring tomato juices on the glasses, one guy out the toilet, close the door quietly, reach his seat doing a slalom. The radio at the low level. Enough for enjoying music. People chilling. The environment seems enjoying this boring Sunday morning. Mouths are drinking. Hands grab stuff from plates, and the food goes to their mouth. Hands moving stuff around the coffee machine. There’s some details that only spirit would noticing during the preparation of the cafe.
There’s a queue.
There’s a queue starting from the counter of the bar going to the door entrance.
Amy’s gets in.
She is on the queue. She is wearing a shirt with some certain particular patterns. Spitit goes on that detail. She stopped at the back of the queue. She is seeing people looking around, the spirit is a friend and he stands on top of her shoulder. And sometimes takes off looking for some details. I can see a big kaleidoscope of emotions running. Amy she is shy, she has been invaded.
She actually disgusted and judged by the environment for some reasons that we don’t want to explain. Spirit gets close to her face, she looks disgusted.
Queue moves on.
She does a step forward. Someone behind pushed her.
Dialogues starts.
All of sudden she swears “Oh god ! All of this pisses me off ” Straightaway.
(Not too bad for a peaceful Sunday morning).
There’s two girls behind Amy.
One the girls behind next to her says “ Sorry, Chill out sweetheart!” Laughing at Amy. The other girl is laughing at Amy’s outfit. Amy doesn’t respond to the provocation. But she feels restless and full of anger inside. She turned around her head back to the till, focusing on ordering something.
It’s Amy’s turn.
Waiter said:
“Hey, what’s up, what would you like?”
“ A Flat white please”
“ Cow milk?”
“No, a fake one please “ she said pretty confident/
“Ok” waiter said “ It’s 2.50”
The spirit goes back and forth among the two characters/
She dropped some change.
Girls behind laugh at her again, and she said “ stop it” screaming and shouting.
Waiter “ Hey Girl, you right?”
Amy’s respond “ No I’m not “ said with no qualms.
She placed the money at the counter in a bad way, get her coffee, turned around and find the first available spot to seat.
She seated next to the bust.
She seated down on the table number three, next to Riccardo the bust, not far from the queue and the door entrance.
She was visibly sad and submissive.
She was looking at the bust.
The bust started moving his lips.
Bust turned around to her, singing a track.
She was shocked by seeing the statue talkin’ and even singing.
She tried to get the attention to the reader in front of her saying
”Have you seen it?”
“He is moving! ”
“ I can’t see anything “ the guy said pretty annoyed.
“What?! Really?”
“Can you leave me alone read my book peacefully please?!” He added pretentiously.
At the moment Riccardo connected with Amy’s spirit.
Riccardo, the bust showed to her some tricks. His singing took all her attention.
She was like hypnotized by him. The Mug next to her starts floating around, and then a ball and then plants pots, mugs, plates, bowls, apple and pears, and even the bust, were floating next to her face and around her. They were satellites around her face.
“Please react!!!” Said Riccardo to her.
“React! React!! React!!!” He repeated three times.
And he added saying “ do not be submissive, don’t let other people judge you”.
“Ok” she said.
And she followed her instructions.
She stood up.
She picked up the book of the reader next to her, and she just throw it away. She also get to the girls were besides her, and pushed them on the floor.
In less then 2 minutes, the cafe was in a complete mess.
She dropped down all the mugs and other pots from the bar counter, and then she climbed up upon the table starting dancing like a crazy girl in front of everyone, keep destroying things around. People started leaving the place, pretty shocked. The waiter at the cafe tried to stop her, not succeeding it. She kept doing bad gestures to all of them.
She fallen from the counter.
Waiter took an axe behind the bar.
She avoided him. She runaway trying to reach the exit but the door slammed in front of her face and a sign said “ No WAY OUT!”
Waiter got closer to her starting threat her with the axe. His evil smile frightened her. Part of Amy’s dress stuck on the door. The polygonal pattern of her dress.
Riccardo launched a spell. A light beam coming out from Riccardo’s eyes hitting Amy. The rays lighted up the whole cafe.
All of sudden Amy she become a rock statue. The waiter tried to use the axe on her unsuccessfully.
Riccardo closed his eyes getting into a deep sleep. He returned on the table three where he was when Amy’s met him.
Cafe gets back to the normality.
1 week later
On the table next Riccardo the bust there’s the statue of an angel facing the sky. It’s Amy. She turned into a rock statue as well and now is part of the furniture of the cafe. The Owner has chosen to use it as one the best new decorations.
There’s ancient story about a rock formation called lot’s wife — turned into a pillar of salt for looking back at Sodom.
But this is just another story…
END.
