Epilogue: Concluding
-What are your hobbies?
-What I like most is to feel a firm floor under my feet while walking with comfortable shoes and thick socks. I also like the cold and thick forests, the creaking doors, the little frequented corners of the buildings and especially the sofa of my house where I read, that preterite sofa under the flickering light of the lamp.
-I conclude then you enjoy reading.
-You conclude well.
-And where do you get so much free time from to write? I know that you are a self-sacrificing full-time worker... Not even your mother, a precocious and prolific writer, may she rest in peace, surpasses you in what you have written until today.
-I squeeze the time to make it suffer.
Three seconds silence.
-I conclude that you organize yourself very well to combine your different activities.
-Again, you conclude well.
-Could you read out loud for our audience a micro-story of yours, one of those that every writer has in his drawer but has not come to light for one reason or another?
-No.
-Mmm, okay.
-Didn't you find it stimulating?
-You have denied my proposal ...
-It is the shortest story in the world: "No". It captures in a masterly way the essence of current societies and relationships between people. Although I am working to overcome the aforementioned merit of brevity.
-Oh...
-No, "oh" doesn't exceed it, only equals it, because although the "h" is not pronounced here, it still enjoys all its rights as a legitimate letter of the English alphabet.
-I have to tell you that you are such a personality...
-Respect me. I am a person, not a personality. Note the difference. I must tell you that you have not concluded well here.
