I still feel the smell. He felt it upon himself, as if it were to become his. As you wash, rubbed vigorously in the shower, the smell would not go away. In the morning, smelling the sheets disgusted. The washed every day, but there was nothing to do.
What I could not hear him was to accept others, even those who loved him. It made her sick.
Claudio had left because of it. He could no longer make love with him, could not even be near him. Not that it was not caring, or had not been patient, she understood that it would take time. For her, however, Time had no meaning. Every day was like another. Had not left the house. He quit his job. Did not attend any more for months. He just go shopping once a week.
It was an afternoon at the supermarket who understood what to do to start living again.
was in the checkout line, trying to smell the lacquer on the white-haired lady in front. Could not. The smell that was persecuted even more intense and could not understand why. At one point the gentleman at the beginning of the line, after filling the shopping bags, he turned to pay. Just saw him my heart jumped in the stomach. It was him. He went out of line with the truck and left him in a lane. He could not lose. She saw him get on a green Toyota Corolla. He ran to the car and started the engine. He managed to reach the first traffic light. Toyota turned to the provincial and after a few minutes they found themselves in the countryside. He tried to keep a certain distance, but it was useless, he could not suspect of being followed. At the first country turned left and after a round parked at the gate of a house.
She went on until the end of the road, then he reversed it and hid fifty yards from the Corolla.
It was decided to wait until was not released again, if only for the night or for the whole next day. After six hours, at a quarter past eleven in the evening, saw the light of the gate come on man get into the car. Started the engine. He also made her the round and found themselves on the main road. There was nobody around. Did not take long to get there. Accelerate more and more until dry. Toyota took a turn on itself and ended up sideways in the road.
opened the door and walked towards the car. The man was down on the steering wheel, blood dripping from his forehead. He was still breathing, but did not appear conscious. Back into the car, with steam coming out of the hood. He backed back for a hundred yards. Then accelerated and this time right in the center door. The air bag exploded in the face and found himself in the middle of fields.
got out of a sore leg and face full of bruises. Came up limping a few steps from what was now only a heap of scrap. Saw the body crushed between the plates. He was dead, now she was sure.
smiled and looked up at the starry sky. He began to breathe the sweet scent of a summer evening. The first summer night of his new life.
