With the light touch of a finger the black screened device installed on the table turned to life, sipping on the warm bitter coffee she had just prepared Dari passed her brownish eyes over today’s news, everything seemed peaceful, everything seemed the same as it had been yesterday or a decade earlier, or so people were made to think. As bitter as her drink were the memories of the recent fighting, some rivalry between the group she’d been working for the last three years and another working on the same area, Dari had no way of knowing exactly what was happening.
With a thin long nailed finger, she would sit there idly sweeping through news about the prospering technological developments, a new kind of moving developed by a random company out of the dozens with researchers on the area, a bomb testing in a desolate area too far to be known and the scandals of a popular idle amongst the youths, nothing real, nothing interesting, she would think swallowing the last of her coffee, leaving the white cup atop the marble table. It was time to get ready for another day, another unpredictable day the young woman was sure as she step towards the mirror, tying up her coal colored shoulder-length hair on a ponytail, anyone who would see her walking on the streets could guess nothing about her, just a plain looking woman, medium height with a slender and agile body, garbed in clothes more fit for male athletes than her. No one knew or could know of her truth, her bloodstained reality in that hidden war of interests.
