Handkerchiefs 13 - Pañuelos 13


Robbery

Katy remembered when, when she was very young, her uncle told her about tiny human beings. She had always thought it was her uncle's invention to stimulate her imagination.
Now she had encountered the reality of their existence and could not ignore them. Not knowing how, she was responsible for their lives. That was what she was thinking as she made her way to the post office to take home the tiny beings.
She was near the bank when, suddenly, she heard the sirens of several police cars approaching. The cars stopped in front of the bank. She approached one of the policemen and asked him what was going on. The policeman explained that the post office had been robbed and all the boxes had been looted.
She was stunned. She thought of the little ones and wondered in whose hands they would be now.

Atraco

Katy recordó cuando, siendo muy pequeña, su tío le habló de unos seres humanos diminutos. Siempre había pensado que era una invención  de su tío para estimular su imaginación.
Ahora se había encontrado con la realidad de su existencia y no podía ignorarlos. Sin saber cómo, era responsable de sus vidas. Eso era lo que iba pensando mientras se dirigía a la oficina de correos para llevarse a casa a los seres diminutos.
Estaba cerca del banco cuando, de repente, oyó las sirenas de varios coches de policía que se aproximaban. Los coches se detuvieron enfrente del banco. Se acercó a uno de los policías y le preguntó qué ocurría. El policía le explicó que habían atracado la oficina de correos y habían desvalijado todas las cajas.
Se quedó atónita. Pensó en los pequeños seres y se preguntó en manos de quién estarían ahora.
