The Scent of Heather

The story

Nathaniel, a reclusive network administrator immersed in the digital world, falls in love with a girl he only knows online. To meet her in person, he does a series of crazy things. He flies to Novosibirsk, to the middle of nowhere, where he discovers a third world—a world of absolute silence at night, where the nearest power outlet is two hours away. It's a world of unhurried conversations and tall pine trees, a world of grass and skies that doesn't exist in the city.
