Prosecuzione spit the dirt with indolence. The taste was very similar to that of the earth-l 'had already tried a few times in his life and it was certainly pleasant. For more now could not immediately flush mucous membranes and nostrils. That was not the Earth, he remembered. speech was not flawless, but did not have to think about it, he thought, coming on the mound. He looked beyond, at the bottom.
a deserted stretch the center with a ridiculous grove of trees, shrubs and carpet of algae. Not was far away, but at least half a day's march was needed. And he was still groggy and too tired to get into the cold night. He had to rest. He took off his suit, putting aside his bag of personal effects. He rubbed two pieces of strong viewer chipped and soon was able to create a small fire rubber silver. It is dusty and dreamless sleep.
Waking with a start, grabbed the box, threw down the small pile of books, electric cigarettes oxygen, the cartridge antifungal and finally found it.
The photo of the women who now looked at him, laughing.
Little, in his mother's arms, his mouth open just like when he called his father: pa-po.
Ismolda, however, was staring at her smiling, with the high brow and half-closed eyes that reveal a spark of sadness. She knew and why they had chosen. And, as always, was very good to encourage it to accept adversity or repair damage. It was unbearable, but sincere: Even from that distance he tried to make it more difficult to live with this situation, if only it were possible. His last words, impassive, were: "If you do not return within two months means that you're dead. And if you die, you know what to do: let us die too. Did you clear this? Viewed in that situation you've been? ". In one piece if the choice was. Apparently. The reality was different. And he knew: the reproachfully was not true. Ismolda cheeks were too rosy, was agitated, and was sad to be moved. So that day, and at that precise moment he had turned his back to avoid his lip quivering with tears and walked out. He knew that forever. Not going to make it back. This was not one of those intergalactic treasure hunt was talking about the olovisione and where, after having punched a few planets, you leave a spaceship hidden in a hole with which to return home. He had lost the Big Bad Jack. So he became a guide to seek them out. A pioneer forced. A pawn in a game bigger than him, even more than that he had lost his freedom. And gambling here there was only the performance, because the result already knew everyone. He was the first. Nevertheless
had begun to advance, like a sleepwalker no bed, to the pine forest, under the warmth of a star high enough. He began to whistle a tune inspired by a sign-that often cruised near his office, to remove the thought of Rory and Ismolda in tears. "I do not think you reduce the space-like a rag, a cloth-looking to enjoy a massage ... Filu-Filu-row." One of the usual monotonous songs to encourage the literary careers. Did not work. But they were very catchy percussion thin compared to the last generation. However, thinking of those poor men of letters hardened, found the strength to go on some more '. He had to at least explore some oases before selling, not to become even more the laughing stock of his neighborhood, putting additional burden on its already expensive pieces. He had to strive or being "Divolta750" they would have a statue dedicated to mocking salpepato, a practice historically reserved for only the highest figures of culture, now, unfortunately for the pranksters, a long extinct. This ever: the soul would have given anything to avoid obscene similar approaches to the world of letters. pine forest. Pools of stagnant water with semi-little creatures inside. He took a double antifungal, took a sip from the ground and went on. Meanwhile remembered the third anniversary of Rory. Had given her a headband "infra" red as that of the mother and she had thanked him reading a poem drawn, rebus type metric, prepared with "mom" for Father's Day, forthcoming. Second and third
almost dry forest. Little oxygen and a lot of anxiety. Please veiled house to collapse, kissing cheeks and jowl Ismolda. Mattress latex breasts and soft water. Three shots of cigarette and went on.
saw the fourth plant clearing and now seemed strange. There were two rows of non-homogeneous trees that led to a precipice. He went quietly but suddenly he heard a roar and turned away. Huge wave rose from the throat to the sky and then go back on his feet majestically. The air moved into the explorer dragged down into the void of the crack and its future. He tried to open my arms in search of a foothold in and found a small white bush. He looked around, scared and clutching: a myriad of twigs on the rock wall, a true vertical limestone forest! Unfortunately for him, however, those higher up were too distant to reach, so the ascent was impossible. He inhaled several times in that breath of fresh but could not calm down. The water, however, the very sea that had -discovered, from the look of healthy seedlings, did not have to get there more than once a day. Cold comfort. It only remained to get off. He thought a moment about where to take his feet, kissed the photo in his belt, then slowly move. Button is active on the pocket of the bag, which sends a signal to Earth for about half an hour. Indicated its final location. He was the only way to end the journey with dignity. Show that in the last minutes of his life to continue the journey of discovery. Their path. Who had not surrendered. Which proceeded without fear. Or at least that would show the signal path: moving towards the unknown. Their mission. His sentence without Rory and Ismolda.
Then all of a sudden drop in thought only of its women. No more ransom. Only memories and love. Even before the abyss, the end of the adventure, the source of family myths. The laughter of sweet Ismolda in his head covered the noise of the branch that broke. He found himself in flight but was able to quickly grasp with his left hand a kind of flowering vine, light and fragile compared to the load to bear. Biancoroseo like the legs of Rory and his mother's slender hands. Under the cosmonaut several meters bare wall. Crash course. So he found himself briefly in the balance of his life on Rory, on Ismolda, gambling, the ridiculous statues and billboards, the new circuits Earth and the weeds wall of this old planet, the ditch and space, its desires and still Ismolda. He decided not to scream, but felt a little voice from inside the repeated provocative: "I am the Life Over and tokens to continue this game of cock's clever if they are tossed high to invent."
turned a blind eye, then the other, waiting for the air in your face.
He heard a hissing sound, but behind him.
He opened his right eye, had a twist. The flower was failing. He saw a filament yellow, and grabbed just in time. With a tug and then more slowly it was pulling on a rope! Do not believe it. Planting for twenty five minutes on the rise. When his eyebrows
exceeded the edge of the ravine he saw: a motorcycle with Ismolda rope plasma had fished out! And there was Rory with her! Wept and hugged and kissed. Ismolda then explained: "We were picked up and taken to the base. We were told that the first phase of research-that-was successful. What have you found the water. They added, however, that you were going to die and that if we had wanted to save collaborate to stage 2, that of the population. 'immoral, I know I know, but necessary for us. For you. To save you. I said yes because I love you. And' difficult but Rory will understand why she is also crazy you. So come on, let's put to bed and let's do. We take away the pain and we'll be better. We need to conceive a son to give her in marriage to Rory. We have no choice or send probes to kill us. We obliged. To move forward. A popular. To live. To fight the end with a new beginning. "
Rory's father looked at sleep and calmly stroked his forehead and tears. Ismolda now also crying and whispering sweet lullabies.
Suddenly the woman kissed him, and his voice became low and sensual and began to stroke it. His face was a patchwork of conflicting emotions. He was tired and disbelief, now hopefully now sad. He did not know what to do.
Then Ismolda-but it was really her or a copy of the latest generation robotorganica ? came to suspect the man-poked the vein neck with a needle of light.
Thus in him, among so many feelings, all of a sudden howling camp one thought:
