The light rang at my door…


9 in the morning, on Saturday...I was sleeping deep after a night of reading, when I heard the doorbell ringing..

Covered my head with the pillow but still could hear the shout on the hall: the light!
Yes, the light was ringing at my door…

It’s the way people from the electricity company come every month with the invoice, expecting me to pay.. In an era where I go to the ATM and in five minutes I pay all my bills, Electrica keeps sending its employees to our doors.. Of course I could go and pay at their offices, but the Romanian lines are legendary…

That’s how the light keeps ringing at my door, every month…and I always answer.
