The crossword puzzle

“The crossword puzzle is nailed. The helpbook is opened, the pages have their own reminders for future mind games written, the pen is laid down like a sword that has won the last battle. Still holding glasses as proof that the mind worked here, not by chance. A pause between two breaths. And for a moment, the woman is not only a puzzle solver, but also a memory keeper, who leaves her tracks not only in the crossword puzzle, but also in life. ” There is silence. Only the table wood remembers this small triumph in which another puzzle has surrendered. And where the next one is already waiting in line. ”
