THUNDERBOLTS

chapter 2

Not that people actually drink coffee to be literate. However,

the reverse mechanism was well preserved by time, seba

how routines shackle their lives

it feels more like a pill of melatonin cradling.

Dimas opened the wallet, took out a card

membership, and hand it over to the waiter at the cafe

the bookstore with the same expression for three years

finale. Lips arched synchronized smile de-

with a deep head nod. A code, dimapan-

right by routine is also time, which means: one complien-

tary iced tea, a little ice, and I'll use the internet facilities

free in the cafe as long as possible.

This place is both the asylum and the paradise of Dimas. Bookstore

international in the middle of the city with the 'tiny cafe

membership means discounts, tea complement or co-pollination

pi, free internet usage. Everything he needs for

creating a personal nirvana. And, to achieve that,

Dimas doesn't have to go back to Washington, D. C., fared

like a cut chicken that's just caged and fed

for twenty hours on a plane. It's quite mengue-

three minutes away from home, or if you're lazy

bajaj intercept. Bajaj-distance heaven, as soon as Reuben called it-

this place is. Spirituality meets efficiency. Impingement

the perfect.

Her iced tea comes along with her free mail site

open-ended. Dimas spend extra to enlarge

volume of email box. Not just for correspondence,

he sent all his important documents there,

Alternative back-up when CD, external hard drive, can no longer

helping out. Losing documents is a dream

bad that Dimas could imagine. Like losing

head taste. And, we all know how scary it is

a creature without a head.

His eyes swept through the lightning of the incoming letters. Hand-held

it moves clicking the mouse from top to bottom, menan-

any dai that will be removed. Viagra offers. Pen

just shirk, the name of the sender is more humane until the

sometimes it's as if we've made a new friend. Mike

Smith, Lorraine Andrews, and this... Gio Alvarado's. Name

macho. Suitable for sales magnifying tools *****. The email title:

"Very important's. Pls read's. Re: Diva Anastasia."

Dimas snorted, what is Diva Anastasia? Sex dolls? Ti-ti

don't know this guy that sex doll is interesting to him

just a name like, huh, Gio Alvarado? However, the direction

the mouse slipped into the email title instead of the box

small in front of him. The unexpected email opened.

To whom it may concern.

My name is Gio, from Jakarta. We don't know each other yet.

But, you know my best friend, Diva Anastasia. When the Diva was declared missing while following an expedition to Rio

Tambopate. I was on the SAR team looking for him.

Your email address is listed in the emergency contact list

the one he left last time in Cusco. If You

want to check the progress of the Diva search effort or

any information, please contact me at the address

email this.

Regards,

Gio.

PS. Diva writes specifics to include

"Supernova" in the email title for you. But, I think Diva

Anastasia is easier to recognize. Hope this email arrives

equally well.

Only at the end of Dimas realized, the email was not

wrong send. In a hurry he reached into the bag, looking for a mobile phone

it was too small so the search was difficult.

Finally, he got a compelling reason to contact

Reuben in between his hours. Finally, he got a

the new stimulus

it will stimulate adrenaline and for a moment

damping their melatonin. A birthday present

slow comes a day.
