פרשת אשקלון | Ashkelon Affair
"A rocket siren interrupts a secret affair. In the shelter, with seconds to live or die, two strangers become everything to each other."
פרשת אשקלון
Ashkelon Affair
פרק ראשון | Chapter One
The siren screamed. Fifteen seconds to shelter.
"!בואי" A stranger grabbed her hand. "Come!"
They ran. The shelter door slammed. Darkness.
"אני מתן." "I'm Matan."
"הילה." "Hila."
Boom. The building shook.
פרק שני | Chapter Two
"?את בסדר" "Are you okay?"
"כן. זה... זה היה קרוב." "Yes. That... that was close."
"את גרה פה?" "You live here?"
"בניין ליד. באתי לעשות קניות." "Building nearby. I came to shop."
Another siren. They pressed against the wall.
פרק שלישי | Chapter Three
Three hours. The rockets kept coming.
"אני מפחדת," she admitted. "I'm scared."
"גם אני." "Me too."
"מה עושים כשמפחדים?" "What do you do when you're scared?"
"מחפשים משהו להיאחז בו." "Find something to hold onto."
פרק רביעי | Chapter Four
In the darkness, fear became something else.
"!זה משוגע" she whispered. "This is crazy!"
"כל המצב משוגע. זה הדבר הכי נורמלי." "The whole situation is crazy. This is the most normal thing."
"!אנחנו לא מכירים" "We don't know each other!"
"אני יודע שאני רוצה לחיות. ואני רוצה לחיות עכשיו, איתך." "I know I want to live. And I want to live now, with you."
פרק חמישי | Chapter Five
All-clear. Daylight again.
"אני צריכה ללכת," she said. "I need to go."
"?אני אראה אותך שוב" "Will I see you again?"
"אולי בצוק איתן הבא." "Maybe in the next operation."
"או אולי מחר. לקפה. בלי רקטות." "Or maybe tomorrow. For coffee. Without rockets."
She smiled. Gave him her number.
In Ashkelon, you learn to live fully—because you never know when the next siren will sound.
הסוף | The End
באשקלון, החיים הם בין צבע אדום לצבע אדום. אבל בין לבין, יש אהבה. יש תקווה. יש מחר.
In Ashkelon, life is between one red alert and the next. But in between, there's love. There's hope. There's tomorrow.
