A LITTLE STORY,

On a quite day of September 1999, a boy with no job, living in a tiny furnished room deep down nowhere was combing Aol chatrooms in search for recreation to get rid of his loneliness.

Rummaging "mady de lyon" chatroom, he found a girl born on the same day as him, only a year before. He accosted her by telling her these few words: "hi, we were born on the same day!" The answer mmediately spurted out: "so what?"...... humm he thought; here's one with bite. Let's try to have her talk further.

After long hours of relentless discussion, they mailed each other's pictures meanwhile thinking "pfffff, (s)he's not going to like me anyway". After that, the talks kept going on via Aol and on the phone and one day he finally had the priviledge to meet her.

FIRST EVENING

the appointment was settled and neither one could escape it; they had gone to far to get back so close for the goal. On a Wednesday evening, she drives from Lyon, guided on the phone and finds the place where everything is going to turn upside down, her life, her long years of forced loneliness. She hesitates then cautiously enters but after a few minutes spent talking, it was time to go to the restaurant, chinese of course, for he could not offer her Maxim's but after his imitation of the rutting chineseman, she was won over by his charm.........She left at 3 o'clock in the morning knowing she was 1.5 hours drive from her home and that work awaited her in the morning.
