Capítulo Diecisiete: The Transaction II-A

Warning: violence, expresses suicidal intentions, and abuse

The whole boulevard exudes a serene and peaceful atmosphere. Life near the countryside is as vigorous as life living in the capital. Every person had some business they were regulating: some were unwinding, gazing at the sky while sitting on a seat outside the café; some students in their uniforms were laughing with their friends on their way home; most were on the street giving people a pamphlet to promote their derivatives. Laughter and the eolian sound coming from the wind were soothing. A day without a catastrophe is undoubtedly benign. 

At the end of the capital, a young man who was on his way home was hugging a pile of books and unexpectedly bumped into the man who was silently standing in the corner outside the public library. Being as thin as those cover girls, the young man had nearly fallen. He was sure he would have fallen if he had not supported himself by grabbing the man’s arm.
