Shadow Puppet

One by one the lighted windows went dark. The silhouette of the dead man could still be seen through the frosted glass like a Chinese shadow puppet. A taxi pulled up. It wasn't the public prosecutor yet. A young woman crossed the courtyard with hurried steps, leaving a whiff of perfume in her wake.

Una cate una ferestrele luminate s-au intunecat. Silueta mortului mai putea fi vazuta prin sticla mata ca o marioneta chinezeasca de umbra.
