And then I\nreally had to abandon, for the evening until the next day, my\npaintings hanging on the stone wall. They are waiting for you&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have a few hours\nahead of me to discover the streets, each one more unexpected than\nthe other. The canals blur the tracks, it is a real maze. I forget to\npay attention to where I go to give free rein to my imagination. At\neach detour I invent stories. Hurried passers-by jostling me; bikes\nbrushing past me dangerously without even a prior honk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And suddenly, this\nhalf-drunk man who challenges the tourists, many at this time of\nyear. He shouts incomprehensible words that immediately make me\nuncomfortable. I pass right by him, I pick up my pace, casually. Does\nhe notice or is it just a coincidence? Anyway, he starts to follow\nme. Above all, do not turn around and continue as if nothing had\nhappened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My sense of\ndirection is completely lacking, so I move forward instinctively.\nSurvival instinct, presumably. As I see a bridge to cross, the\nbuildings opposite particularly attract my attention. It&#8217;s stronger\nthan my fear, I take my cell phone out of my pocket, take a photo and\ncontinue my walk. I feel he is not very far from me and stopping for\na few seconds didn&#8217;t help things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I decide to cross\nthe bridge. An excellent idea since a few meters further, I dare to\nturn around and&#8230; he is no longer there. He stayed on the other side\nof the canal. Phew!<br>\n<br>\nHey, it&#8217;s starting to rain. I pass a\nchurch, I hesitate to take refuge inside. The door is closed. I\ncontinue towards the central station. The raindrops are getting\nbigger. I will soon be completely soaked. I lower my head, I&#8217;m on\nautopilot. Will I take the right path and find the station?<br>\n<br>\nThe\nrain brought me luck, here I am on the train.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SOLD Oil on cardboard \u2013 7 x 9,5 inch \u2013 Unique work It&#8217;s the end of the day.
