Barca de dimineață a oprit la Stromness. Polly a pășit pe piatra udă. Vântul nu se oprea. Un câine stătea pe dig. „Îmi puteți arăta drumul?”
Ea nu știa încă unde să meargă. Sunt cam șaptezeci de insule. Doar pe vreo douăzeci trăiesc oameni. „Îmi puteți spune de unde pot lua autobuzul?”, a întrebat ea.
„Cât durează să merg pe jos până în centrul orașului?” Câinele s-a uitat la singura stradă îngustă. Unsprezece minute, a spus el.
„Îmi puteți spune dacă sunt evenimente interesante astăzi?” Orele bărcilor sunt știrile de aici, a spus el. Există o capelă construită de prizonieri. Există un sat sub nisip.
That's the story.
