    About this ebook

    Two friends are going to spend a few days in a beach house. They soon discover that only one can enter the house, while the other, prevented by an invisible force, is forced to sleep on the terrace.

    While trying to understand the mystery of the place, the questions and uncertainties will show that the answer to the main question is simpler than they imagine.

      The Beach House - Alec Silva

      Why do we meet? Because luck want it that way? It is because through distance, no doubt, like two rivers that flow to reunite, our particular inclinations impulse us to each other.

      Gustave Flaubert

I shifted quickly, letting my friend lead away from my thoughts any traces that might disturb our ride.

      I was disposed, walking in a hurry, while I still crawled from the slight tremor in my legs. If it were not for the cold weather that my body was reluctant to get used to, I would have recovered quickly from the vertigo and achieved a better performance to keep up with her rhythm.

All that was enough for me to see the one for whom I had great affection in a state of joy.

      After a few seconds, I was finally able to walk by her side, even though the dizziness and pain made me uncomfortable. I sketched a sincere smile when she asked me if I was tired of a short walk;
