Apartment 613

<==> { Sometimes I stay awake at night, trying to imagine (link: "how was everything before.")[how was everything before, but father forbids it.] I hear mother crying herself to sleep. I hear father crying with her and have long walks in circles in (link: "our apartment's small living room.")[our apartment, a combo of brick and concrete with the minimum requirements to go by without having to go outside.] When I can't sleep, [[I look out of the window->miro por la ventana]], [[read a book->leo un libro]], or [[eavesdrop->pego la oreja a la pared que da al cuarto de mis padres]] my parents conversation in their room. (set: $acciones to 1) (set: $day to 1) }

<==> The skies never stop having a coppery, metallic look. The air we breath seems charged with some strange energy. Father says it is the same energy transmited by the electrical appliances, when there was electricity in the city and people went out to stroll under the street lamps. The breeze, heavy and leaden, always carries a sooting presence that with time, has darkened the faces of all of the buildings in the city. Every night, the sky is visited by lightning and not allowed to rest. Darkness makes night of the day and lightning make day of the night. Nobody understands nature anymore. [In the end, I close my eyes...]<ojos| (click: ?ojos)[[... and little by little...]<poco|] (click: ?poco)[[... I fall...]<voy|] (click: ?voy)[[[...->día1]]<dormida|]

<==> It's a history book, or at least it is for me. I open it every night since I have memory. I learnt how to read thanks to it. I know the words by heart, but I never get tired of looking at the images on it. Once I asked father if the creatures drawn on my book really existed. "Yes", he answered, "when I was your age." { (set: $elefante to true) (set: $cebra to false) (set: $leon to false) (live: 3s)[ (if: $elefante is true)[ (set: $elefante to false) (set: $cebra to true) My favourite animal is [[the elephant->día1]], with its powerful ivory tusks. ] (elseif: $cebra is true)[ (set: $cebra to false) (set: $leon to true) My favourite animal is [[the zebra->día1]], with its hypnotic pattern of white and black stripes. ] (else:)[ (set: $leon to false) (set: $elefante to true) My favourite animal is [[the lion->día1]], with its noble predatory look. ] ] }

<==> Mother says that we have to do something, we do not have any food. Father says that he is thinking about it. Mother says that she is ready to go outside to look for it. Father replies that no way. I hear him open the locker. He takes something out, something heavy. It's father's firearm. While he loads it, he says mother that he is ready to welcome the next visit. That he will not allow anyone to harm us. [I can hear how they kiss each other long and tenderly]<cl|. Everytime they kiss, it sounds like a goodbye. (click: ?cl)[There is no more talking.

Since five years ago, mother uses a [kakebo]<kakebo|. It was a gift from Kazumi, our old neighbour from apartment 1077. She uses a pencil to be able to keep using it the next year. She erases the pencil with a small piece of bread that she later eats, to not waste any food. Father wakes up a bit later. He exercises first. Push ups, crunches and sit ups. "To be fit, just in case", he says when I ask about it. He later inspects the closer apartments, where there is no one living anymore, to see if there is anything useful left behind.

<==> My name is Verne. One day I found a book in our apartment, number 613. It was an old book, about to fall apart, titled //Around the World in Eighty Days//. It seemed to me the most beautiful title I had ever seen. I [asked]<preguntar| father whether my name came from that of the book's author, some Jules Verne. (click:?preguntar)[Father said no, my name is Verne because they found me on a Fern fifteen years ago. [[I wish I hadn't asked->Portada]].]

<center>**Day $day**</center> <==> Today is the fifth day since we drank any water. This morning, after waking up, I went into the living room as usual. Father was not there. He was also not answering my calls. When I entered his room, I found him embracing mother. He wasn't breathing. I spend the rest of the day looking through the window, dreaming that water falls from the sky. I once read that was a common thing before. I think about my current situation and I wonder if everything has changed now, or just stays the same, but I can't really see any difference. I think about my parents and what would they do if they were the ones who had lost me. Probably they'd carry on with their lives, in their gilded cage, as if they were living fossils, happy as long as they don't have anything to do with the outside world. For a second, I hate them. I have learned that there are only two important decisions in life. The first is where to be born; the second, where to die.
