One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I visited the Bratislava Castle alone at night. No one else was there as well. I was the only one whose trail of footprints was left in the snow, and my footsteps echoed before entering the palace courtyard. It was quiet and I was all alone. And all I heard was the fall of snow and all I saw was snowflakes dancing in the lights right above the castle. It was perfect, and it was captivating, and it was magical, and it was like a dream. I will never forget how I felt at that moment.
