The last day in the life of Adam Garcia found him as everyone
the others of his past: dreaming of winning the 'Gordo' in the
Lottery, the children and the woman sleeping next to her.
Adam left home, at noon, after an argument
very heated: his wife wanted to ask her in-laws for money,
and Adam kissed his children while shouting:
'This is over, life. The illusion left, old woman, and time
He is my enemy. Instead of living in fear, it is better to die
smiling, with the memory alive '.
For the last time he entered the neighborhood store and was given a
pack of cigarettes. They saw him walking down Central Avenue,
'aimlessly, hands inside pockets'.
'Since Adam was kicked out of his job,' said one neighbor,
'I noticed in its way to be a very strange change. He, always very
vivacious, now he was quiet. But in the tranquility of the desperate. '
The police report says that Adam arrived at a bank and shouted at the
cashier who gave her all the money she had in her box
and that if he did not do it soon, he would kill her.
'The man threatened me with a gun', said a lady, 'that's why
is that he gave him what he wanted. For the kind of salary that here
they pay me I will not risk the life that God gave me. '
They say that when Adam left running from the Bank he found a
patrol parked in front; that he did not pay any attention to the guard who gave him
the tall'; I was going, 'screaming and smiling like a madman'.
The next day, the newspapers published the photo of his corpse in
underpants. The widow of Adam read, on the first page:
'LADRÓN USABA THE WATER REVOLVER OF HIS CHIQUILLO'.
'This is over, life. The illusion was gone, old woman. Time is my enemy.
And I, to live with fear, I prefer to die smiling, with the memory alive
Only among all we can make this a better place :)
