In Which a Defeat feels like Victory

Good morning, my friend, dear reader of this post! Hope you are okay? Do let me know! And maybe the weather is also fairing not as summery, instead leaning more on towards Autumn, assuming you come from the north! Here, the weather of September has been mild, which is a blessing! As a whole, the month so far was one of a slowly fading winter, in towards what one can pray it may be a fresh spring. As for me, the weekend was relatively calm. I did play some games, and I could work on my first 2026 season christmas postcard! As a personal tradition I have, I do it early, as I adore christmas. I was worried if this year I could have done it as early, fortunately the answer is yes! As usual, this is dedicated to my dear pen pals, excellent online friends, that I have cultivated across the years. It has a sparkly feel to it, more than in past years. It just ended up this way, and I like it. No reason for it to look particularly optimistic, just happened in the end. God knows I have my lament...

The Adventures of Mr. D'Onofrio and his Suitcase with 700 Socks! Chapter 15!

 She reached the other shore fast and thanked the man who guided her so well.

“Here’s your payment, and thank you so much for guiding me here, mister.”

“I’m only doing my job, ma’am!”

Adelaide then waited for Zach, who was still way behind on the lake, she could see him, but he was a weak shade in the fog, overshadowed by the colors of that part of the forest. Nevertheless, he was moving, not nearly as fast as the sleigh, but on a wonderfully nice speed for a human being. Zach truly compromise it was on reaching his promised land, with his serene expression; he was skating through the iced landscape. His head was calm, but seeing Adelaide in the sleigh, Zach was frustrated, frustrated that only he could see that vehicles were dangerous. However, why they were dangerous, that answer he could not explain, his mind was calm, but Zach could feel a crack on the ceiling of his mind, and when you’re on complete silence, even the small wind can be a hurricane. Zach was calm, but he was worried he’d have to face the truth soon. What truth? Everything is fine, why would he have to worry about? Worry? But why? Zach was calm, but he stopped being so serene, his face was serious and he was skating in a more sparse way, he kept on going, and on and on. Then, some hours later, he reached the other side, where he joined Adelaide, who was faithful at his side, and that was waiting for him.

“You’re here! Well that’s wonderful! We can proceed our journey!” Adelaide cheered

“I am here, let’s keep on going, our destiny awaits!”

“Zach, wait, is there something different in your face?”

“I don’t imagine it would have something different, Adelaide, why you ask?”

“It feels… more concerned… what happened?”

“Let’s keep on going! I just must be really excited to reach the land of Socks and I think I can show it on my face! I can’t help it!”

“Well, alright then, if we keep on walking we must be there in a couple of days! Our shortcut was a great one.” Adelaide knew that something deeper was going on with Zach. Moreover, whatever that was, she decided not to say a word on the subject for the time being.
