Did You Know?

Shades of Invisibility


Shades of Invisibility
The evening light was streaming in through the window of the biology room, painting geometric patterns on the floor. Leon was finishing jotting down his homework when something on the windowsill caught his eye - a shiny dark blue pebble, as if completely out of this world. Next to him, Maja, always curious and adventurous, glanced over her shoulder. "Oi, where did you get that?" - she whispered. Leon shrugged his shoulders, because he didn't actually know himself. The pebble had appeared in his pocket after today's strange dream, in which he was running around an empty city and the shadows seemed to be talking to him. As soon as he touched the pebble, he felt a chill. The loud laughter of his colleagues from the doorway suddenly quieted. It became strangely quiet. Leon looked towards Majka.
