An afternoon of warmth and entertainment
In a sweltering atmosphere, she collapses on the sofa, surrounded by old cushions that seem to have seen better days. After a cinematic marathon of four films, his mind is torn between westerns, romantic comedy and wild action. Each film has brought a different flavor to his evening, but now he is looking for a new experience that breaks the monotony.
The moment of truth: the die
With a firm decision, he stands up, feeling the weight of his inactivity. Within her reach, a small metal cube beckons her. Reluctantly, he tosses it into the air and watches it fall: three. This figure marks his shower, a task he does reluctantly, knowing that it won’t be enough to get rid of the heat.
The routine of watering and cooking
Despite the heat that has left the garden parched, he takes two minutes to water the plants, a gesture that seems more and more like a memory of what it was. Afterwards, she dedicates herself to preparing a simple dinner with small tomatoes, which she is forced to season with herbs to make it more appetizing. Dissatisfaction accompanies him as he eats, his stomach rumbling, remembering that he cannot always control what life throws at him.
A night of reflections and longings
In bed, as he tries to find comfort under the sheets, the heat persists. The fan, which fights mosquitoes and heat, offers partial relief. With his eyes closed, he gets lost in thoughts about the small frustrations of the day: the unnecessary calls to his mother, a student with a failed exam, and the need to justify it. His mind searches for creative excuses, thinking of the academic authorities that might endorse his decisions.
The power of the dice for tomorrow
With the thought of tomorrow, he imagines himself at the train station, hoping that the die will give him a four. This number represents the stops that separate her from her destination, a thought that motivates her to continue. And so, closes a day that, despite being ordinary, is marked by the decisions you can make, or leave in the hands of fate.
