The Seat

An old school building in the forest.
Nobody knows where it’s in right and when it is.
There was a woman who just has being read through post cards.
She has set up red chairs behind a red curtain in the classroom.
And then, other women who wrote the postcards appeared suddenly in the moment those chairs were perfectly prepared.
They just want last one seat.
It is time the game gets started.
