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 lost in thought when it happened.
Someone came to find me and tell me. I do not know how, but in that instant I fell into an abyss, and darkness engulfed 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, motionless by the roadside, abandoned, she no longer needed 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, this moment that will remain eternal?
