Passage from the text...

On the way back, a few bricks placed across the road force us to slow down.
Immediately, two Viet Cong, cartridge belts crossing over their chests, jump out of the shrubs and hold us at gunpoint.

 Electric shocks go off under my earlobes.
Freezing terror, face to face with rifles that glow in the sunlight.
The whim of these two soldiers will decide whether we live or die. 

No more breathing.
Life can turn on a dime.

About the author

Throughout his life, Alain Dizerens has also worked in kabbutz (Israel) and Hong Kong among other places around the world. After a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and several decades of teaching, Alain Dizerens also presented a variety of "crosstalk kinetic" (dance, electro) performances in Geneva in 1986. He has written other books - Miroir-Temps and l'Arpenteur sidéral among many as well as published a number of photo e-books. Written with a poetic touch, his books quickly absorb the reader in a realistically magical universe, which at the same time never lacks a bit humour.
