Platero And I: Someone Wrote To Colonel
The Colonel finally got mail, Platero. He has been waiting for this letter for such a long time: his daughter will finally visit him, after all those years. And he will meet the granddaughter he didn’t even know existed.
I remember that, after another violent argument with the Colonel, she ran away one night, carrying nothing more than the clothes she was wearing.
All searching was ultimately in vain.
I never told anyone this before, Platero, but I have sheltered her for over a week, until the search was given up.
Her as well as the fruit in her womb. From Guest Contributor Hervé Suys
Hervé (°1968 – Ronse, Belgium) started writing short stories whilst recovering from a sports injury and he hasn’t stopped since. Generally he writes them hatless and barefooted.
