Venancio miraba y sonreía... el hombre tenía dos años sin ir a la plaza y sentado miraba maravillado, las nubes, los árboles, mascotas corriendo, aves cantando, personas caminando, unas conversando u otras tomadas de la mano Tenía mucho tiempo sin venir a la plaza recordó por un momento, y nunca había disfrutado tanto con ver cosas cotidianas, desde el sitio en el cual él estaba sentado podía ver el palacio de Gobierno, la catedral y el hospital del pueblo, desde esta perspectiva se veía diferente, un señor vendiendo jugos llamó su atención por un momento con su pregón, pero lo que vio después le restó importancia a todo lo demás.

Su acompañante le dijo que iba a buscar unos jugos Venancio solo asintió sin siquiera tomar en consideración que sabor iba a ser su bebida, estaba absorto viendo a un grupo de jovencitos jugando en sus patinetas, hacían piruetas y hablaban y reían, de pronto su conexión con ese elemento inundó todos sus pensamientos, recordó como su difunto padre le regaló su primera patineta cuando tenía 12 años y a partir de allí su adolescencia se nutrió de salidas en patineta, música punk rock y sus amigos y videojuegos, él quería ser como Tony Hawk, cuando no practicaba jugaba en su videojuego a ver los trucos, respiraba la patineta, esos años de juventud en los cuales él pensaba que podría comerse al mundo no había límites, en esas salidas conocía a Laura, su amor eterno una joven con una cabellera negra, un estilo gótico, que estaba viéndolo en un día tal como ese.

Pero como le pasa a muchos Venancio se cayó una vez muy fuerte, la más fuerte de todo, recordó como el doctor le recomendó no manipular maquinaria pesada, esto incluía automóviles, por lo comprometido que quedó su rodilla luego de la lesión, pero el no hizo caso, compro su carro, contrajo matrimonio con Laura y tuvo dos pequeños, al mayor le regaló su primera patineta, tal y como su padre lo hizo con él, fueron al parque a estrenarla el día del cumpleaños del pequeño, antes de salir a un viaje a la playa, el hombre pensó en salir de noche para evitar el tráfico y a pesar del temor de Laura salió manejando con su familia, allí lamentablemente se cruzó en su camino un camión y su rodilla se trabó, de pronto, luego de un par de segundos no recordó más nada…

Su acompañante volvió con un jugo, Venancio miró hacia abajo y no había rodilla de la cual preocuparse, tampoco estaban sus niños y su esposa, la sonrisa se desdibujo, y le dijo al enfermero que lo llevara de vuelta al hospital..

ENGLISH

Venancio looked and smiled... the man had not been to the plaza for two years and sitting there he looked in wonder, the clouds, the trees, pets running, birds singing, people walking, some talking and others holding hands I had a long time without coming to the plaza he remembered for a moment, and he had never enjoyed seeing everyday things so much, From the place where he was sitting he could see the government palace, the cathedral and the town's hospital, from this perspective it looked different, a man selling juices caught his attention for a moment with his hawking, but what he saw later subtracted importance to everything else.

His companion told him he was going to get some juices Venancio just nodded without even taking into consideration what flavor was going to be his drink, he was absorbed watching a group of youngsters playing on their skateboards, they were doing pirouettes and talking and laughing, suddenly his connection with that element flooded all his thoughts, he remembered how his late father gave him his first skateboard when he was 12 years old and from then on his adolescence was nourished by skateboarding outings, punk rock music and his friends and video games, he wanted to be like Tony Hawk, when he was not practicing he played on his video game to see the tricks, he breathed skateboarding, those years of youth in which he thought he could eat the world there were no limits, in those outings he met Laura, his eternal love a young woman with black hair, a gothic style, who was watching him on a day like that.

But as it happens to many, Venancio fell once very hard, the hardest of all! he remembered how the doctor recommended him not to handle heavy machinery, this included automobiles, because of how compromised his knee was after the injury, but he did not pay attention, he bought his car, married Laura and had two little ones, the older one he gave him his first skateboard, just as his father did with him, They went to the park to use it for the first time on the little one's birthday, before leaving for a trip to the beach, the man thought of going out at night to avoid the traffic and despite Laura's fear he went out driving with his family, there unfortunately a truck crossed his path and his knee got stuck, suddenly, after a couple of seconds he did not remember anything more...

His companion came back with a juice, Venancio looked down and there was no knee to worry about, neither were his children and his wife, the smile faded, and he told the nurse to take him back to the hospital...
