A story

Please find below the first part of a story that we're going to write together over the course of a few weeks. Each student will be asked to write a part of it (word limit is 120-200 words). Let me begin...


It was a warm, almost windless May night in Dublin. Kate was sitting beside a big bedroom window of her small apartment on West Essex Street in Temple Bar. It was quiet. Monday nights are usually fairly quiet even in this part of the city which is known for being very vibrant and lively. She could only hear some light traffic noise coming from Dame Street. She was sipping white wine. The three-year-old sauvignon blanc from the north of Italy reminded her of Marco – an Italian boyfriend of hers who had lived in Dublin for almost a year, but then suddenly disappeared without any trace. The last time she saw him was on the New Years Eve of 2009.
