At dawn on the third day the Red Pontiff of Climax was awakened by a Lidchen of dubious provenance (baroque) which made him open his arms languidly, and his eyes with repeated delays.
From the thermal indicating light in the living room came the secretary’s voice (meek because of the hour, and tridimensional against the flatness of living forms).
The endeavor was about to come to an end, the secretary was saying, just as forecast.
The Pontiff raised a hand, which the secretary recognized at once, and the Lidchen stopped immediately. Just as the secretary’s voice stopped, and remained suspended in the indicating light, still warm, waiting for new information.
