Excerpt:
Il Duomo towered above me in all of its splendour. As I stood looking up at it from the piazza below, it cast a shadow upon me, blocking out the moonlight. A tunnel of warm wind blew on my face and I closed my eyes for a few seconds, feeling the warmth of the continental air as it forced its way through the city centre streets. It was like I was in a dream. I felt as if I was floating for a moment without a care in the world. The noise of people walking by and talking became mute and I felt as if I was the only person in the piazza. The buildings around the Milan piazza were all lit up like a Christmas tree. It reminded me of a song I loved. ‘Light the Night’ by Andy Burrows. I could hear the song playing out in my head. What a wonderful night. The stars were twinkling, the moon sat majestically in the sky and all was well. The song kept playing in my head – I felt so pleased to be alive. The people on the square came back into focus. I started to hear them again as they wandered by. Their chatting, their footsteps, their laughter. I could hear the chink of glasses from a restaurant and bar nearby. The square was alive with people, yet I felt all alone here. Just me and the Duomo di Milano. I wished that I was on its roof looking across the city. What a view it would be.
‘Hey!’ someone shouted. I could hear it in the distance, but it didn’t properly register.
‘Hey Rich!’ There it was again. And then I felt a friendly shove and I woke up from my peaceful oblivion. ‘Hey – what’s up? You just got up and left?’
‘Sorry Marco’, I replied. ‘I just needed to come to the piazza’.
Reality came flooding back to me. I had been woken from my blissful unawareness and my mind started filling in the blanks and I began to realise the situation I was in. ‘Oh God’, I thought. My stomach sank to the floor. I felt as if everyone was suddenly looking at me, staring at me. As if I was a member of a freak show. The noise of the people in the square became louder and louder and started to hurt my ears. The noise became more piercing.
I could see the living statues in the square; people pretending to be statues but moving when people walked past. I wanted to go over and push them off their stands. I don’t know why; I just felt the urge! And then a child nearby started crying and screaming. She kept on screaming and crying, getting louder and louder. I felt like ripping that doll out of her hand and ripping its head off or ripping her head off.
