Hold On, Bek — a layover journal
Copenhagen
Episode 2 — Copenhagen
Long flight. Copenhagen, grey and flat beyond the glass.
CURIOUSThe World Cup starts soon!
LAMEIt's cold outside. I'm tired. I'll sleep.
BEKI'm just going downstairs.
The canal was right there.
Sometimes that's enough.
A man was already in.
BEKYou do this every day?
Yeah. I enjoy it.
I didn't go in alone.
You filming?
BEKYeah — go.
Okay.
About fifteen degrees. The kind of cold that doesn't ask permission.
Back upstairs, the room felt warmer than it was.
BEKI won't.
CURIOUSIt started!
LAMEWake me if something happens.
Later, I worked a little. Then slept.
In the morning, back to Dubai.
HOLD ON, BEK
Some layovers give you a story. Some just give you a cold canal, a quieter head, and a flight home.
