"Mostly, she grew fond of the view of the wild flowers thriving beyond the short fence, so calm yet so fierce in the breeze constantly blowing across the island. Only the shore where the factory was located didn't interest her at all and for that reason, she never went there during her long walks alone. Her sense of belonging to that place grew fast and intense, to the point that she came to perceive the island not as a physical place anymore, but rather as a projection of her own body and mind. She felt like, before Diamara, she had never even existed". On a spring morning, Cordelia leaves her colourless and passive life in the city to dock at Diamara, an almost uncontaminated island that awakens in her sensations she had never felt before. The happenings are narrated in less than thirty pages, in this short story about apathy and the pursuit of happiness.
