The story of two lonely people(Elizabeth Aldam) The story of two lonely people.


In a city like any other, a woman writes a story. It is a story
waiting for a reader. The minute this one comes along, the story
won't be like any other, it will have reached someone, becoming part of
his life.

The story is about a man and a woman and a bridge. They meet
there for the first time, two absolute strangers, taken with each other,
yet ready to become history in each other's lives.

The writer makes them fall for each other. She denies them
names and gives them only the cold arches of the gray bridge for
their meetings. And they will only talk, talk about their lives before
they met and treasure those moments.

The writer wants to set them free from convention but one day
her characters rebel.
Their love refuses to be platonic, they refuse to meet under a
bridge, they crave a warm room to express their physical love. The
writer grants them all that, but they are still unhappy. They become
jealous,possessive and demanding. They seldom talk to each other,
the writer loses herself in their passion.

She had wanted to forget about herself and had failed. Her
characters show her this failure. She can't stand it and ends the
story abruptly. making one of them leave the city for good.

In a city like any other, a man reads this story and falls in love
with the writer. He looks for her in many cities, unable to find her.
Years go by and he still searches for her.

One day by chance he finds her and they become the characters
in the story.
