In this case I spoke to the deputy, as he was not there at the time ..." he explains.“I understand... However, both in the first contact and in the future, you will deal with the deputy... The mayor left it up to him... is that ok with you...?”“Yes, even better because he certainly remembers me and that makes it easier. But I have one doubt.

But there was movement, so everything, besides nothing, could happen. He could too, because nothing mattered to him. It was all very predictable, just like the adventure that can be seen in the smallest hand of a clock. As for the future, he was as if under a dense fog, which prevented him from seeing even what was in front of him.At first, the wife even considered adding him to her “board”. Furthermore, she thought to herself and came to the conclusion that it was a piece of little or no strategic use.Do what? It even seemed like a structural issue, “you can't change all materials”, she said and added: “People are made of materials and not all of them can be changed easily, only those who flex, contribute to this...”. “To do this you have to have the humility of a pawn.” She referred to her husband as being impossible, considering he wa

The whispers and laughter of those present sound like torment to him as he insists on looking at his watch. Meanwhile, everyone directed their chairs in such a way as to position their backs to him. “God forbid..., but if this marriage doesn't last, I'm sure it was the sinister back here that was bad luck...” says one of the women in such a way that Bruce could hear.These words and the gestures of most women, added to his situation, induce him, for the first time in his life, to go beyond w

What do adults do... to have joy... similar to what children have?” asks Bruce, because, as a child, it was this brother who had the most fertile imagination.“From the moment I set foot in this city... all I can think about is...” Bruce's brother gets excited, but is interrupted by him saying, “if that's what I'm thinking, and I believe it is, because I've always been able to understand what you're thinking...” he half questions, believing the obvious.“This is not a phenomenon...”, adds the brother, “seeing that, deep down, you have a little of me... as much as I have of you and, together, we complete each other....”“I don't even need to remember what we did or... almost did... when we were teenagers.
