(238 words) The main characters meet on a hot summer day on a boat. He is a lieutenant, she is a small sweet woman. A man begs her to get off when they find themselves at a small pier. She gives consent, after which the lovers go to the hotel, book a room there and spend the night together, which they will remember for a very long time.
The next morning, a lovely stranger is about to leave, and asks her companion to wait for another ship. She calls everything that happened to them a sunstroke. The lieutenant acknowledges this and escorts her, then goes back to his hotel room, which now seems completely empty to him. He can no longer look at the untidy bed, so he pushes it with a screen. The man understands that his whole life is meaningless without this beautiful woman, whom he will most likely never see. This thought depresses him.
In order to get a little distracted, the man goes to the bazaar, then to the church, and then returns to the hotel and dines there in the dining room. During lunch, he decides to go to the post office and send a letter to his beloved, but already on the way there he realizes with horror: he does not know her name or surname. Overwhelmed with grief and fatigue, the lieutenant comes back to his room, lies down on the bed and gives vent to his emotions - tears flow down his cheeks, and he slowly falls into sleep.
Already in the evening, a man breaks out of Morpheus' embrace and goes to the pier. The love affair that happened to him now seems to him a distant, distant past. At night, the lieutenant’s ship sets sail, and he himself feels as if he had grown ten years old during this time.
