Mientras tomaba un café, por la tarde, vio el noticiero. Decidió salir a caminar unas cuadras por el barrio, a tomar un poco de aire fresco. Tomó hacia la izquierda para no encontrarse con la villa Sarmiento: allí viven, impunemente, the two boys who killed the shopkeeper. From next door came out a foul smell pee. Saw on the porch, an old couch covered with a tattered blanket, was a nest of cats. The husband believes it is best to have cats to eat the rats. Meters later ducked a pitch of the children of the "squatters." They are there because bribes to a city councilman. Before reaching the corner had to go down the street. There was a place left, a half broken sidewalk and half pasture. A shaky lineup that refused to die said: "Butcher, The Mad Cow." Imagined that the former owner never learn what that is mad cow. Passed slowly an order of police surveillance in the province. Paid no attention, perhaps because it was an old lady. He saw them stop at the pizza place and get one. Insurance not paid and the owner or jokes, he thought. He crossed the street and followed. Wind picked up and dragged grocery bags and empty soda bottles. Was approached by two stray dogs that barked. He prayed as his grandmother taught him: "San Roque, San Roque, this dog will not touch me." Maybe she was right, because it diverted their attention to a broken trash bag that showed traces of chicken wings. A man pulling a cart loaded craft to the brim with things discarded by others, for when she took a break and went on his way to the Villa Sarmiento. She had gone to get some air. He needed all the air to continue. A sign from one house catches his eye: "I buy copper, lead, bronze, no." No ": no understand. He saw four boys coming. Wearing a wedding ring, you could not get even with soap, and a penny in his pocket. His instinct tells him to cross the street did not. When they passed by his side realized that they were students at the evening school No. 46, where he also studied children. They did it in the morning shift, of course. When evening are those who were unable or unwilling to study in their childhood. Inside feel the need to apologize for prejudice, but they spoke the jargon contained them.
Inadvertently Stumble arrived at the station. Predicted that black cloud would rain. Decided to take a remis, but recalled that he had any money. He told a taxi driver who would pay to get home. He distrusted, he watched from head to toe, but he agreed. To get paid and tipped him for the favor. The postman
found a note: "I went and you were not." It was from a guy who said the neighborhood watch in the evenings. He never left his cell phone number. She paid him well, as usual, perhaps because it never entered his house to rob.
dined watching TV, but not the news. And saw him twice in the day (in Live) The food ordered at the delivery, he choked.
