There were no houses nearby.
No car parked. @
No bag.LKSR
No blanket.
No phone.
No one asking for help.
Only she, alone in the darkness, as if someone had left her there and disappeared.
I ran to her screaming,
“Ma’am, can you hear me?”
But he did not answer.
Her skin was freezing, her lips almost blue and her breathing was so weak that I had to get very close to make sure she was still alive.
I wrapped his body shaking with my jacket, called in emergencies and begged him to resist.
At the hospital, doctors said she suffered from dangerous hypothermia, was severely dehydrated and appeared to have received some sort of sedative.
No one knew who he was.
No one knew how long she had been sitting by that road.
The police asked me if I had seen anyone nearby, but all I had seen was the wheelchair, the rain and their still body.
Then, near dawn, he finally opened his eyes.
The nurse gently asked her what her name was.
The old woman whispered her name.
