A Story by NIKOS NASOPOULOS

short story on a photo of Ellis island

The island...Ellis...
Let imagine...a day of around 1911....
So many that came....ship Argentina comes from Balkans and Italy...
They came on land...but was not the place they imagined....they thought they could walk in that big city streets but now they must stay for days here....
Young men and women tired after thirty days journey and older ones...
They speak so many different languages and they try with every piece of their body say why for they came...
Doctors inspect everything,even the teeth....
Some are taken in a special building...they will send back...and what they will say then about that big dream???
The walls have so much to say,in so many different words...but they are still silent even some can hear almost everything...but are few....
