Headlines For Nursery Rhymes



Aldo wore dark glasses because their eyes were like glass burst, and all around swollen and red, like an allergy. Those eyes must have been so from one day to another. I can not imagine a process of Allergy and eyes pop, to the point of Aldo. In fact it should be possible. But knowing the history of Aldo, I think it was the day his life as a driver hit the windshield of the car, when his eyes were like that. And he had no time to wipe the blood that was in the mouth, or given the time to explain to his wife, who watched as police took him away, as the car drove away, and she was standing at the door the hall looking at him, still in disbelief everything in a couple of minutes had passed through his eyes. Aldo was
scammer. He did really well. The day after that round out her business, she told anyone the details of the scam, sipping a glass of whiskey. That and wearing dark glasses, but I did not want to be recognized. Many people will want to paste, and some also wanted to see dead.
His wife never visited him in jail. He only sent a few letters, Aldo said, but she did not read. Her son did go to visit him. But he gradually lost the habit. Aldo was in prison, but if he was, then I would have to pay many bills, and easier to see escape from the prison to escape from this situation. Therefore, Aldo were forced to feel comfortable in jail. But there was a time when he had to leave. One can not be in jail long as you want.
left the prison wearing a shirt with the top button undone and no tie, a gray jacket and dark trousers. Before leaving put on his glasses. He looked at the sky, the ground floor, dry grass, and finally checked his suit and took a deep breath. He called his wife. Then
Aldo and his wife were in a bar. She and him having a drink whiskey. As in the old days, only instead of having their scams round, there was a silence, which neither was uncomfortable because his wife had nothing to say, and Aldo took the opportunity to think about how to start the conversation. They spent a few minutes. Agreed. And Jesus is? "He asked. His wife responded instantly, as if he felt more comfortable with silence. While working, he said. He lit a cigarette and offered one to his wife, who declined. Fire the waiter asked. Deep breath and faked twice before starting a conversation.
- I suppose you know the problems that I am, "
- Half the city wants to kill you," replied his wife using the same tactics as the question about your child. Aldo imagined a angry mob advancing towards him, and smiled, but little, not take the environment into the conversation.
"Oh, I bought this watch .- Jesus said, and pulled out a digital clock that marked the time. "I miss
batteries, no?
"Yes, I think so. Unless it is broken. I do not think. I bought it from a guy in a trade.
-Aha.
Silence. The waiter served a steak with mashed potatoes on the table behind the wife of Aldo.
"And your mother is? - Aldo drank whiskey and asked for the bill to the waiter. He realized that his wife was bland as ever. He remembered his wife's cooking, when Jesus was still a boy, and was having the same expression a few friends. But this time it came to a head, not even answered the question, relieved that her husband had already asked for the account. She put the bag to leave. Aldo
While putting on his coat and his wife looked at her reflection in a mirror that was in the back of the bar, the two thought the same thing: "What would Aldo now." I had no money, no job, no family support. Only had a couple of poor devils who wanted to kill him. She thought of Aldo in the coming weeks lying in a hotel room, staring at the ceiling with the remote control in hand. In shirt and pants, with pants hanging on a chair. Aldo simply could not imagine anything. It came into his mind the image of angry people coming at him with rakes and torches. I smile back, feeling half confused.
The two left the bar. Aldo to one side, his wife for the other. They greeted only with a goodbye. When he reached the corner he realized he had stopped the clock for your child. Turned around, entered the bar, saw the clock on the table, put it on. Checked the time. It was agreed that lacked batteries.
left the bar.
