L’inizio di qualcosa (forse)/The Beginning of Something (Maybe)

            Non ricordava più da quanto tempo fissava l’orizzonte.
Forse un’ora. Forse dieci anni.
Da quando i segnali si erano spenti e le strade avevano smesso di condurre da qualche parte, il tempo aveva smesso di avere un senso.
Alle sue spalle: rovine e silenzi.
Davanti, un mare torvo, senza navi.
Non c’erano più porti, né rotte. Solo la sensazione che qualcosa, là fuori, lo stesse cercando.
O forse lo aveva già trovato.
---------------------------------------
He couldn’t remember how long he’d been staring at the horizon.
An hour, maybe. Or ten years.
Ever since the signals had gone dark and roads had stopped leading anywhere,
time had stopped making sense.
Behind him: ruins and silence.
Ahead, a sullen sea, empty of ships.
There were no more harbors, no more routes.
Only the feeling that something, out there,
was looking for him.
Or maybe it had already found him.
