It must be a shadow, or a ghost. Somebody whose face no-one can remember, and whose voice has never been heard.

The city welcomed them with a traffic jam. While they were waiting for the jam to clear, Lupescu to his left and saw a small neighbourhood of little houses stood right on the sea edge. They were simple houses, built for the fisherman, whose skyroofs were almost up to the height of the road, with advertising hoards for restaurants specialising in fresh fish. To his right there was a secondary school and a hospital, both of them ugly grey and brown buildings, as if to contradict the splash of colour on the other side of the road.

The car in front of them pulled away, just as Lupescu was wishing he didn't have to be there.
