by DIEGO LAMA (translated by ROSE FACCHINI) Tweet by wonderferret | Flickr It had been night for several hours. Lucio and Arturo were sitting silently in the big, deserted park. Lucio finished his bottle of wine. He hurled it a long way off, toward a bush, and missed. “Fuck you,” he muttered, but not to the bush. Then he stretched out on a bench, covered himself with a newspaper, and closed his eyes. “Night,” he mumbled to Arturo. “Fuck you,” Arturo responded. Lucio was already sleeping. For a few minutes, Arturo stood watching the stars, listening to the sounds of the park: a faraway cricket, leaves rustling in the wind, Lucio snoring. Then, all of a sudden, a blinding flash illuminated the hedges. Arturo looked up while Lucio continued to snore. An enormous golden spaceship descended from the sky, landing gently in front of the bench. A large hatch opened and an all-powerful alien emerged. |
