The First Part Summary:
It was her boyfriend’s idea to celebrate Christmas in the Ice Palace, a fashionable modern resort on a remote island in Sweden. Julia did not like snow, ice, cold, gloves, scarves and hats. But Mark, love of her life, suggested to “expand horizons” and paid for the trip with his new American Express.
Upon arrival, Julia suggested that they go and make some pictures. She was an avid photographer and made sure she had the equipment to capture the Northern Lights, famous and magical Aurora Borealis. Mark googled and said that it is highly expected in this area in the end of December.
After a short trip on a snowmobile they were on their own in a winter fairy tale. As far as they could see there was only sparkling snow with hills and dunes and high in the sky - lucky them- the Magnificent Aurora. Julia started to get the camera ready but Mark was quicker with his smartphone. “Say “Cheese”, babe”, he blurted out.
Suddenly, a ray of green light shot from the sky. It lasted only a few seconds. But after they put their faces together for a selfie, the screen showed only snow. They became...invisible.
