La mantita - The small blanket
She turned eight last week. Eight cheerful years, an innocent life full of dreams.
One fateful morning in November, on her way to school, she was daydreaming when it happened.
Someone came looking for me to tell me. Without knowing how, I reached into the abyss, and black darkness enveloped my soul.
I covered part of her body with her blanket, the little blanket that had so often kept her warm. In the cold. Her body half broken.
Now, absent, by the roadside, abandoned, she no longer demanded anyone's care. Not even mine.
Who will take care of you wherever you go? Who will play your games and nurture your dreams?
Who will mend this moment of farewell, which will remain eternal forever?
