Postcard no. 3
Postmark Paris, France 1894

“Following the trail of La Lune’s legend, we visited the Eiffel tower today. And learned there had been a tragic accident there earlier. It was the third such tragedy that year. We tried to imagine the tower without all the police and the reporters.

Cold, windy, rainy, there was nothing beautiful about the view. Instead it suggested an uncontrolled nastiness unleashed on Paris.

One of the reporters said there were witness who claimed that the elevator had stooped working ten minutes before the accident. Another said an elderly woman had stood close to the railing and laughed, shouting out at the sky, shrieking: “La Lune is shining, La Lune is shining.”

Beside us someone whispered that Sandrine knew what had happened. If we could find her we hoped Sandrine could explain this too. Even if she has never told anyone. Until now.”
