Excerpt from the book: “The Cycles: Postcards from Infinity” – by Theo Bablekos

Setting out

It was Easter Sunday. The feast had begun early in the morning, and now, already afternoon, everyone was tired. My uncle was sleeping. My cousin had come from the neighboring house and suggested that all of us go for a ride.

“I’m going to sneak into our uncle’s house, take his shotgun and then we will all go hunting together!” he said. “What do you think? Isn’t it a great idea ?!”

We were all excited. Yes, it was a great idea. We would all go together to the fields and wander, experiencing the feeling of adventure and hunting. So, all of us children we gathered, and after my cousin took the gun and the cartridges from my uncle’s house in secret, we left.
