After having followed their personal comet, with no gifts, stables and Magi and only perils to avoid, Ashley and Bill camp in what it looks like a safe spot. Safe until when. Safe until where.
“What now?”
“What now what, Ashley?”
“We still got the whole night.”
It would probably be the last night on earth but it will be their night.
Ashley, as soon as the fire is lit with a flint, takes out an harmonica while Bill tones:
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
(Blackbird, The Beatles, 1968)
