By the time
they reached the top, it was getting dark and snow was starting to fall. It was
Christmas day and the two friends wanted to take some risks. Before having
dinner, they picked up some fruit, water, lanterns and warming clothes, they
left the hotel where they were staying in. “Just an hour” they thought and then
both started walking under what seemed to be the worst storm of their lives.
“-Frank, we
are so far away from the hotel. Maybe we should turn around”.
“-Don’t
worry Ed. Don’t you feel this more exciting than being in the hall with a lot
of old people, drinking punch and dribbling? For God’s sake! Do you remember
the reason for the trip?”
“-Yeah
Frank…escaping from routine, living new experiences and having sex with some
sexy Swiss girls but we have just two days left and we haven’t done any of the
three things yet.”
“-DO YOU
WANT A NEW EXPERIENCE?! Ok, here you are! We are in the middle of the night, in
another country, Christmas day in one of the most beautiful European countries.
We have been skiing and drinking. Do you know what? THE BEST THING IS THAT
WE ARE ALIVE ED!”
“-I have
snow even in my underpants! I’m tired… and this is a suicide.”
“-No it isn’t!
Look, let’s go to a bar and meet those sexy girls. The one who gets the
prettiest will invite the other to a round.”
“-Ok but my
dear friend… where the hell are we?”
Frank an Ed
were in the top of a little mountain in the Swiss Alps, lost and with no water.
Suddenly, the American friends tried to call the emergency service; but as if
they were in a horror film, there wasn’t a signal.
The cold
started penetrating their bodies and panic was unbearable. Snow fell. Silence. Anything
more than silence and dismal thoughts. Those thoughts were about death and
pain. The guys were sorry they hadn’t said "I love you" to some important
persons in their lives.
“Hello, is
there anyone by here?” When Frank listened to these words, his heart throbbed
strongly. A group of four blond girls, which had that type of body that cures
hiccups and were dressed with shorts and no t-shirts, approached him slowly...and
stripped him. He even forgot Ed, it was like if he wasn’t there, a sweet
dream. The warm started to be noticed in the air.
Next day,
their dead bodies were discovered in the inside of a cave. The boys were
cuddling each other with a note written in a post it which said:
December 25, 2013: we’re gonna die and we know
it. We went for a walk. We have been very reckless and want to apologize to our
families, we love you. But we also want to say that we don’t repent of our
lives cause we have fought for what we wanted, we dreamed and we are loyal
friends. The world keeps turning without us, but we already turned ourselves without it.
