Chapter 295

• We had to travel on a private plane to a town that was not on anyone's map, not even on my phone. The mystery of our new home became even more unsettling when I saw that it didn't even appear on conventional maps, not even in the digital age we live in. Where the hell were we heading?
• My parents, immersed in a silence that puzzled me, refused to answer my questions, repeating the same litany: "We will explain it to you when we arrive, don't be afraid and keep quiet."
• How could I not be terrified? They had forced me to pack my belongings in record time and then had driven me to a luxurious car, to finally board a private plane whose splendor left me speechless as I watched the sunrise from the window. And now, as I got off the plane, a stranger was staring at me through his impenetrable sunglasses.
