Chapter 8 - Day 7

Its first hours pass slowly, quietly.. until the door knocked, and his mother said to him: "Calypso, the door is knocking". He approached slowly to open but didn't feel safe, they have no relatives, no one expected to visit. He climbed the stairs, peeked from the window, froze in his place, started shivering, sweating.. it's them! The five stalkers.

 He sat for a bit on the bed, looked at his bag and said: "It's time then". He laughed in despair, went down the stairs gently, held the door handle, half-opened, said coldly: "Who is there?".

One of the five replied: "Hello Calypso, we are glad to finally see you, we are students interested in your articles and work, we opened our company and we want you to work with us, the salary is big".

He froze, a void in his head, his knees couldn't carry him, he said: "Students?". One of them replied: "Yes, from the same university as you". He slammed the door in their faces, leaned on it and sat on the ground, smiled then laughed a hysterical laugh to vent his tension and saying: "They asked.. hahaha.. students? All this time!". Then he went silent. One of them said from behind the door: "I heard he was eccentric but not to this extent".

 Calypso replied to himself: "Even more eccentric than that". He smiled and deactivated the explosive belt he was wearing and said: "Even more eccentric than that".
