The Eternal Skier
Single spirit on ice.
There was sense of peace in the village. Those who
travelled to ski were in accommodation asleep. Locals at home waking. A faint
humming could be heard as the piste bashers start their daily ritual.
It’s dark but eerily clear
as Paolo approaches the lift he operates hoping to catch a glimpse of the sun
rising above the mountains. Instead he spots someone hurtling down the icy
slopes at tremendous speed.
Paolo gasps unable to comprehend what he
thinks he sees.
He looks again and crosses himself as
the faceless skier who haunts the slopes evaporates in the breaking dawn.
