Helen Stays for Dinner

Helen wants a hot meal and a door she can lock. She arrived alone an hour ago, and the hostel lobby is louder than her room. A man from the next corridor says a few people are walking to a bar by the river. He tells her to come. She wants to. The train was long, and eating alone in a new city has a quiet she does not like yet.

She does not say yes yet. First she sends her sister the hostel address and a photo of the front door. A copy of her passport is already in her email. Another copy is folded inside a book, not in the pocket with the real passport. Last night she downloaded maps that work without a signal. The charger stays in her jacket, because a phone with no battery is a poor companion on a street she cannot name.
