FRIENDSHIP, Frank and Ed

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.
