Yiayia's Cottage

Sakis looks around. It is not another hotel, and definitely not his flat in Athens. It is just a room, sparse and plain. A chair by the bed, hooks on the back of the door where his clothes hang, and slithers of light slashing their way through the tightly fastened shutters. A glint on the wall, the gold of an icon, and he is grounded. Yiayia's house. A gecko runs zigzag up the wall by the door. A tendril of vine has found its way into the room through the shutters. He slept in this room when he was a boy. There is no rag rug on the floor by his bed as there was then, but otherwise nothing has changed. Well, there is precious little that could have changed. Four walls and a door!

He stretches and puts his hands behind his head. Yesterday, coming into the house after the impromptu gathering was a bit eerie. Mostly because he could not imagine the house inside without Yiayia being there, or the smell of her cooking and incense, or the bundles of sewing she always seemed to be doing. Even so, right from the creaking sound of the back door, it was all so familiar.
