THE LONE CASTLE

 

1. Song Of Dawn

 

The day appears suddenly, covering the dark firmament with an irregular net of pale scars. Scattering clouds open the wounds again and the sky starts to bleed with the light. Wetness manages to enter everywhere before the cold sun begins a superficial penetration of the severe wilderness, as if it was afraid to wake the evil sleeping somewhere around. And the castle on the remote hill is still a grey shape rather than a real building.

 

 

2. Song Of Dusk

 

The landscape is reddening. On the sandy castle walls shadows begin their insane dance with the bloody sunlight. The wind is circulating anxiously, howling and raising dust into the heavy air. Dark clouds above the hill are slowly passing through, from nowhere to nowhere. But a vulture flying around the wild and hostile area seems not to notice the overwhelming atmosphere of misery nor the killing scent of the rests of the worn-out day.

 

 

3. Song Of Night

 

The castle is outlined against the darkness. The silver moonball shines but does not seem to light anything. And the piercing feeling inside... Is it just cold or fear? The night spreads out her greedy arms, drowning the cursed world of the wilderness in dead silence. No sound, no movement, no life... Just the throat-seizing tension so hard to bear...
