Beautifully done, @adncabrera. I love your writing. And I hope you can shake the feelings of guilt or concerns that it is a shallow endeavor. Fiction is a splendid escape from troubles, whether you are reading it or writing it. Many writers have found their voice in the most troubling times in human history. I honestly think writers who have never encountered life challenges have little to say.

I really enjoyed this story. I weaves a rich tapestry in few words.

I uncovered the bottle of cologne (for men) and its lemony aroma (and, behind it, the unfolding of an untouched forest, breathing in the rain...) opened my heart.

Wow. Nicely done.

I pray for Venezuela.
