about

08 – LUNCH BREAK
A month or so later I found some information about Max. I had to be careful, because it would be suscpicious if I openly asked people about him. I learned his routes, habits, rituals. Thanks to the biggest data base – community portals – I even learned his mobile’s number. I didn’t only know what he looked like. Strangely I didn’t find any Max’s photos. There was no his pictures on his profiles, as if he was faceless.
At first I had a different plan. I was going to talk to him, to ask about the morning when he had driven his van and deliberately crashed into my mother and me. The dream haunted me more often now and I was afraid that some day I wouldn’t wake up. I desperately wanted to save myself, to prevent the dream becoming reality. When for so many years you’ve got problems with separating reality from dreams you’ve got a different attitude to time. Its passing is more symbolic then real. Almost every day I was afraid I’d again find myself on that wet street, Max would approach and I’d die, but what scared me most was the possibility that I’d hurt and see everything from a different perspective. As long as I was only an observer in the dream I could do something. I made a decision.
Each Friday at noon Max was supposed to go to a small bar in downtown. I found the bar’s website. It was said there the part of the bar’s design was a payphone. The owner was very proud of it and paid a lot of money to adapt an old phone to tone dialing without any harm to its functioning. So in a way it was possible to go back in time. Apparently the phone atracted many tourists and often was the true reason they came there. I went there twice to see it. For the first time I drunk a cup of a very bad coffe, for the second time I had something which was supposed to be a steak. For each occasion I chose a rush hour and dressed differently than usual. And then Friday came.
The door opened rather noisly. Almost all tables were occupied. I went to the payphone and dialled Max’s number. His mobile rang near the window. He was irritated somebody interrupted his lunch break, but he took it. I went to him purposefully and put three bullets in his head. People froze and watched as Max’s body was sliding on the floor. Then silence was broken by a woman’s scream.
