Gentle Kidnapping

1. Painter Brothers

I look from the neighbours' place to a wall where two people are painting. They look my way, but don't see me. The have many buckets full of paint. Different colours, blue, red, green. One is tall, the other is not. In the course of their work they appear to be brothers. I see them at work. The tall one answers the other one that you should not mix the paints, we have not enough buckets for that.

2. Dear in the Woods

I am at a place that feels familiar, is bright, maybe a city, or a house with friends. Anyway, along comes a car and takes me away. In the car I realize I am being kidnapped. A lean man in dark clothes drives. Quite posh, all of this.

We drive a long way. I don't say anything, am curious where I'm being taken.

Drive through fields, nature, further away, woods. Downhill. Further down is where everyone else is. This is a small park, a centre, lots of animals, brown fur, most look like dear or harts.

Once I get out I get away. I work my way back, on foot, more people are with me. I struggle. The road is different, there is no road, but rocks, and we have to climb over and around them. Some are slippery. It is dark now, outside. After a while, I go on on my own, if I wait for the others, it will take too much time.

3. Two Girls in Red

Inside, kitchen. Simple, only a table. Two girls, friends, are there. They look gorgeous, I like to be with them. I linger at the table. They do whatever they were doing. I watch. The eat or are preparing food. At some point they turn their back to me to get something from a cupboard. I go towards them and put my arms round their backs. They like it. To smooth it out I also say: both of you have very nice dresses.

They are dressed the same, more or less, both a red gown, with dots or other similar patterns in black or dark blue. Strikes me. One of the reminds me of Mavo, the other one of a girl I know worked in the supermarket were I sometimes go. (Never made contact.) I don't want to let go, it is nice and warm. But they go back to the table, sit down and eat.
