Simos Panopoulos - Look at that

Part One

Chapter 1

β€œLila had, with a certain amount of commotion to be sure, shut the door upon exit - not out of anger or vexation probably, but then again he couldn’t swear by it. It was, you see, one of those heavy, reinforced ones. Barely a minute later, and after whichever char-acteristic sounds – due to her high heels and wheeled suitcase, and his apartment building’s elevator and en-trance door – were to echo, echoed, he saw her from his window emerge out onto the sidewalk.

Or rather credited as it will eventually turn out.

Chapter 2

From the moment he had glued himself in front of the computer screen at daybreak, he must have read that same paragraph about fifty times and it still wasn’t up to scratch. He had been struggling with it for a month now. He had sweated blood to set it on the right path but it was all in vain. It persistently resisted his every attempt to humanize it a little, even if he accommo-dated its every whim. Frowned at a noun? He’d serve it with another.
