Sometimes I would let him play with us too. He was younger, dribbled between our legs and faulted with no shame. When we were resting on the lawn, he would not stay silent for even a second. What have you been doing these years? When I'm 20, I'm going to be famous. I'll be playing with Barcelona or Real Madrid, I will have millions in my bank account and the best chicks. You're laughing now, but I'll show you. When we met years later, he was still all bark. I'm at the best bookmaker. I'm going to my night shift now, Boss said next year I might even sign a contract.

Some dead people never die. Organic parts die inside of us with the dead people and leave empty spaces so that those who are gone have somewhere to live. This is how some dead people never die. The pain of losing them is physical. You can feel it for a while in your throat, in the chest, in the stomach or between the temples and that's where it rots. And it leaves other empty spaces. Next to the tears well that has dried up. Death means waking up from the dream of life. That means that as long as we live, we continue to dream and keep alive those are are gone.
