Paracinema - A Slow Meeting

Written by

We are gathered in the large room in darkness, facing a wall with trees on either side. The only light comes from behind a drumskin, high up on the wall. A man is playing softly on a guitar, an intricate melody, delicate, unobtrusive.

Very slowly, something emerges from the trees on the left, very low down. The creature seems large, and flat to the ground, except for two large snail-like horns curving upwards from it's head. It is a gigantic snail.

At the same time, a girl appears from the trees at the right. She has long hair which covers her face. She is also moving very slowly, towards the snail.

The guitarist continues picking his melody as the giant snail inches forward, and the girl approaches from the other direction.

After some minutes, they begin to come near each other. The giant snail lifts up his head, the girl peers down to look at him. They meet.

After some time the snail bends back down to the ground and continues on its way.

The girl continues on her way, and slowly disappears in the trees on the left.

The snail slowly disappears at the right.
