suspense three

...

Part Three.


Simultaneously a mile and a quarter to the south east. White pawn advances one step. Black answers by short castling. Time is ticking away.
-"Has the mailman been?"
-"Yes."
-"But, not the milkman?"
-"Yes, the milkman too."
-"So we've been completely surrounded, or?"
-"Yes, that's correct."
-"Yikes!!!"
White queen in danger. Black knights and castle is conspiring. White knight comes to the rescue. The situation is temporarily under control. Faint cries for help. All night long. Morning comes as a liberator. No rest for the wicked. Awaiting new orders.

Ottür sits on the steps, drowsy.
-"Is Dorotea awake?" he says without realizing there's nobody around to answer him. He yawns and babbles incoherently. He tries to think, hard. It doesn't work and then he yawns again and are just about to yawn again when he is startled by a voice.
-"Oh, you're awake. We've to get new supplies." says Dorotea.
-"What?"
-"There's no coffee in the house. There's really nothing left. We've to get new supplies." she says again.
-"Oh."
