Has he seen them before? The girl resembles someone: the one he had met some months ago, the huge crush. But she was only thirteen, and he was twenty three. When he was thirteen, she was just a three year old toddler. If he was forty and she was thirty it wouldn’t have made any difference. But she is thirteen; no, he shouldn’t even think. Oh!

The clock on the blue wall shows eight-ten. He slept for only ten minutes, yet feels lively as if it was for days. How he saw two long dreams in just ten minutes? Now he knows what to do next. He closes the music player which is still playing the same classic (repeat mode), and opens the client of his Trojan horse. Now he is sure what he must do. There is a knock on the door. He doesn’t respond. He doesn’t even hear the knock. Then there is another knock, louder. He doesn’t respond. Then there is a sharp
